Bertram Russell's The Scourge of B'Moth, first published in the May 1929 edition of Weird Tales Magazine, is a Cthulhu Mythos novelette-a tale of encroaching dread, in which the civilized world finds itself stalked by something ancient, primal, and hideously patient. What begins as a puzzling psychiatric case soon unfolds into a vision of cosmic and biological terror: a malign force rising from the depths, insinuating itself into the minds of men, and calling all life backward-away from order, reason, and restraint, and toward the law of fang, jungle, and abyss.
