Being a teenager isn't easy--especially after you learn you carry the bloodline of Lovecraft's Great Old Ones in your veins. Instead of a summer job and checking out colleges, Calla Tafali finds herself battling supernatural monsters, human assassins, and her uncle, The King in Yellow. She must resist his call to embrace her own chaotic heritage and join the "family business," as well as prevent the awakening of the terrible deity asleep and dreaming in the corpse city of R'lyeh--the Dread Dead One! Prepare yourself for weird action, adventure and mystery in the Mighty Mythos Manner



   • A fun, fresh take on Lovecraft's Mythos for a new generation.

   • Originally serialized on the digital platform Stela.

   • All-star creative team: Evan Dorkin has won a Harvey Award and 6 Eisner Awards and Sarah Dyer has won a Lulu Award
