Here, Dagon appears as an unknown being surrounded and worshiped by numerous Deep Ones, larger and more powerful than the Deep Ones, a large species that is so gigantic that it can defeat even a whale with one hand. All elements that can be found in other cosmic horrors, such as enormous stone architecture, paintings carved in relief, and the invasion of hideous monsters and the world being destroyed as a result, appear. Although the volume is not long, Lovecraft's unique description of architecture, imagination about aliens, giant monsters and the destruction of the world are implicitly melted. It is about returning to the United States with the help of an American merchant ship and writing a story. A sailor who was accidentally captured by the German Navy while working at sea during World War I secretly escaped and drifted, and met Dagon by chance.


, which Lovecraft wrote based on a dream, is a short story of only a few pages.
