Fall of Cthulhu Volume 2: The Gathering is a comic book omnibus collecting issues 5 - 10 of Michael Alan Nelson's Cthulhu Mythos series Fall of Cthulhu. First published by Boom! Studios in July 2008, both trade paperback and digital editions were released.
==Synopsis==
The overarching plot of this book involves Mr. Arkham gathering the beings known as the Horsemen of Nyarlathotep to his service.
===Part I: "Sysyphyx"===
Mr. Arkham's assistant Connor leads an expedition into the Arctic to retrieve a mysterious chest buried in the ice for over a century. Returning it to his master, he lures in an unsuspecting victim before opening the chest; the creature contained within - a creature named Sysyphyx - murders the victim and inhabits her body.
===Part II: "Happy Birthday"===
Sysyphyx uses her charms to corrupt the soul of a young boy, turning him increasingly more vicious and sociopathic. Eventually the big kills his father and enters a cocoon-like state, emerging soon after as the monstrous Gnruk of Vol'kunast.
===Part III: "Vessel of Gith"===
Connor descends into the Dreamlands where he has his soul removed by a bizarre priest before assuming the role of the Vessel of Gith, killing the creature which previously used that name.
This issue features cameos from both the Harlot and Nemesis.
===Part IV (untitled)===
The Masked Mute, a small girl who hides a deadly secret behind her many masks, dances her way through the Dreamlands and into the service of Mr. Arkham.
===Part V (untitled)===
After retrieving a jar of a toxic substance received from the old Gardner farmstead, Connor makes a mistake which may cost him his sanity. The four creatures are united in purpose under Mr. Arkham.
