What is Cthulhu Cat about?

“An ordinary Japanese high school student takes home an abandoned supernatural cat left in a cardboard box. Maybe he shouldn’t have meddled with kitties beyond human comprehension — after all, it had tentacles where its whiskers should have been!” an official synopsis for Cthulhu Cat reads.

“But it’s too late now,” it continues. “With no Elder Sign on the cat door, soon the pick of the Mythos litter starts to invade his house, as furry and feline versions of Hastur, Yog-Sothoth, Nyarlathotep, and other adorable Lovecraftian horrors blast his mind, whisper impossible secrets, and generally get underfoot!”

Dark Horse’s announcement also includes the following message: “Ph’nglui mglw’nfah Cthulhu Cat R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagnya!” This translates to, “In his house in R’lyeh dead Cthulhu Cat waits dreaming, meow!”

Cthulhu Cat goes on sale in September 2024 from Dark Horse Manga.
