Description

She wants to see the manager. He is the apocalypse.

When Cthulhu—recently single, a little paunchy, and very over eternity—sneaks to Earth for a low-key vacation, the last thing he expects is Karen: a fearless, weaponized consumer advocate whose charm, wit, and ironclad boundaries can terrify demons and desk clerks alike. Their chemistry is instant, their shopping trip catastrophic, and their selfie goes viral. #Cthulhu2024

Soon they're on a road-trip caper from coastal lighthouses to a haunted battlefield and a treasure that could buy freedom. But cosmic HR has noticed the truancy, and an ooze-slick emissary is stalking them—along with a whip-cracking treasure hunter and his deadly partner who want the loot, the legend, and Cthulhu in chains.

Between ghost-tour guides, Civil War reenactors, and eldritch fine print, Cthulhu must choose: return to the crushing duty of the Great Old Ones or fight for a gloriously messy human life with the only woman who can out-argue a demigod. Karen isn't here for domination—only respect, consent, and an upgrade with breakfast vouchers.

Monsters are easy. Negotiating love, free will, and supernatural bureaucracy? That could end worlds. Will their hell-raising romance topple an ancient order—or trigger customer service on a cosmic scale?

Read The Call of Karen by Troy Lambert today and dive into an irreverent urban fantasy rom-com where love, chaos, and eldritch laughs collide.
