I can look at this past summer now and see that it was all Dagon。

We sailed around Outerbridge; its cliffs and caves; around the Montgomery palazzo; shining green and white with the flashing of the lighthouse nearby; north and then east; beyond the Great Salt Pond; out into the diamond night where sea and sky met; and the storm howled around us; and Jimmy; gun to my head; calling me Mooncalf over and over again; forced me to whisper an incantation to Dagon of the purity and madness of human love。
Mooncalf; he said。 Mooncalf。
