Catch of the Day

"Catch of the Day" is a Lovecraftian short story by Irish author Ed Nobody, first published in Vol 5, Issue 3 of the Lovecraftiana zine in October 2020.
==Synopsis==
A man hears the tale of how the captain of a fishing boat and his crew claims to have encountered an eldritch horror while out making their living. The octopoid abomination became tangled in the boat's nets, nearly sinking it and driving the captain to the brink of madness - or perhaps even causing the very fabric of reality to unravel - before he was able to slay it with a kettle full of boiling water.
The listener is understandably sceptical, but soon changes his mind when the captain shows him the corpse of the beast pinned to a nearby building.
