This play tells the story of Cuthbert and Ashton, who tell the tale of their romance. What makes their relationship challenging is this that they are devotees of different 'religions'. Cuthbert is a devotee of Cthulhu and Ashton worships the spider goddess of dreams, Atlach-Nacha.Their story concentrates on how they met and an important event brought about by each worshipping their 'god'. There's not much horror in this story and whatever tension is created is lessened by the use of humour throughout.
Unfortunatley I wasn't a fan of the play format, it just didn't really work for me. It's an interesting story and I think Alan Ryker is a superb author but I'm sticking with his novels and novellas for my future reads.
