==Synopsis==
When young Augustus and his family temporarily move into his grandfather's rural home , he discovers strange papers and a mysterious amulet hidden in the attic.

==Behind the Mythos==
The chapbook edition of "Along Came Cthulhu" features cover art by Flowers' son Thoren inspired by H. P. Lovecraft’s original sketch of Cthulhu, and includes Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem "The Kraken", often cited as an inspiration for both "The Call of Cthulhu" and its titular antagonist.
