✨A CHILLING TALE OF HOW VENTURING TOO FAR INTO SPACE CAN SHATTER THE HUMAN MIND.✨
What if the ego were not the solid psychic structure it appears to be here, in the safety of Earth?
🚀 Aboard the Persephone, the crew will discover that the real dangers of deep space are nothing like anything found on Earth: threats that invade the mind, erode identity, and distort reality itself.
This is a warning to all of humanity: a warning of an unimaginable fate, a silent threshold that must never be crossed and a godlike presence waiting beyond eons of darkness, hidden in the frozen confines of Pluto.🐙 Perfect for readers of cosmic horror, space horror, psychological horror and the Cthulhu Mythos: a Lovecraftian descent into madness, chaos and the unfathomable.
Based on the bestselling Call of Cthulhu scenario of the same name, written by the same author.
THE CRITICS HAVE SAID…
👉 “There’s a masterfully crafted atmosphere of immersive terror that accompanies a very well-woven plot. The ending is brutal and paves the way for the next novel, which I’m already eagerly awaiting!
In summary, it’s a book with a different approach to cosmic horror that completely captivates the reader. It’s been my first read by Quico Vicens-Picatto, and I absolutely loved his prose as well.” (Ratita de Biblio).
👉 “His prose is hypnotic, filled with images that linger in the mind like echoes. The descriptions of space, of silence, of emptiness, are not mere ornaments — they are an extension of the characters’ souls. Reading it is to feel small, yet also part of something immense. It’s to understand that true horror, when well written, does not seek to frighten you, but to remind you how vulnerable you are.” (Plottwist blog, by Daniel Rete Rebolledo)
👉 “Vicens does not rely on conventional horror. There are no jump scares or cheap thrills, but rather a horror of ideas — one that arises from knowledge and from the arrogance of believing that everything can be understood. The author raises unsettling questions: What happens when knowledge ceases to enlighten and becomes a curse? What part of our mind is sacrificed when we draw too close to the divine or the infinite? In that sense, The Oracle of Yuggoth is akin to the Cthulhu Mythos and Lovecraftian cosmic horror, yet it approaches them with a more contemporary, introspective, and philosophical sensitivity.” (Mindies)
👉 “There are books that tell you a story, and others that pull you into it and won’t let you go until you reach the final page. The latter are the dangerous ones — the ones that seem to open a crack toward something you shouldn’t see, yet that seduce you in an inexplicable way.” (Daniel J. Rodríguez)
👉 “A bold venture where metaphysics, science, and cosmic horror converge. Despite delving into profound ideas and concepts, the author of The Oracle of Yuggoth never falls into obscurity. His prose is elegant, precise, and sensory enough to keep the reader captivated on every page.” (ikonomultimedia)
