Synopsis[]

In 1928, the American horror author H. P. Lovecraft wrote the horror story "The Call of Cthulhu", which depicts the horror experiences of the Norwegian sailor Gustaf Johansen in the Southern Ocean. In Tore Aurstad's Fangarmer, the story continues. We meet Johansen's young neighbors in Oslo and hear what happened next where Lovecraft's story ends.

Join an adventurous and dangerous journey down to the southern ocean where harsh whalers work for a living, and mysterious fish-like creatures chase after them. Get to know sunken islands, ghost ships, sea monsters, a famous Norwegian discoverer, an object with magical powers, and join a dangerous expedition where the young Amund Nordfjord and his fellow travelers are chased by a mysterious ship with a crew from another world.
