More Publishing Unleashes a New Literary-Horror Classic: The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu

100 Years After The Sun Also Rises, Hemingway Returns—This Time, with Cthulhu

When Hemingway Meets Lovecraft, the Lost Generation Faces Its Greatest Horror—The Void

ATLANTA, March 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- If you loved Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the Hollywood blockbuster and international bestseller, prepare for the next literary-horror sensation. One hundred years after Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises defined the Lost Generation, the novel is reborn—with one of horror's most beloved and terrifying figures: Cthulhu.

Arriving April 1, 2025, The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu is a genre-defying fusion of literary classic and cosmic horror, co-authored by Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winner Ernest Hemingway and Jorah Kai, the modern minstrel of the macabre. Available in eBook, paperback, and a beautifully designed hardcover edition, this book reimagines Hemingway's masterpiece through the nightmarish lens of Lovecraftian horror.

Paris, Pamplona… and the Abyss

Jack Schitt, Ro'brt Ctholh'en, Brett Ashley, and Creepy Bill drift through Europe, drowning their postwar disillusionment in wine and bullfights. But beneath their fragile existence stirs something far worse than ennui: a slumbering horror that threatens to consume reality itself. As Jack and his circle navigate love, loss, and existential dread, they become entangled in a sinister plot to awaken the Elder Gods.

At its core, The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu is a novel of two hauntings—one of the human soul, the other of the universe itself. It explores themes of identity, alienation, and the horror of an indifferent cosmos, seamlessly blending Hemingway's stark prose with the creeping dread of Lovecraft's mythos.

A New Literary-Horror Classic for the Twenty-First Century

Following in the footsteps of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Lovecraft Country, this novel taps into the growing demand for high-brow horror. It's a must-read for fans of literary fiction, cosmic horror, and anyone who dares to stare into the abyss.

"Hemingway captured the existential crisis of a lost generation. Lovecraft captured the insignificance of humanity in a vast, uncaring universe. This novel combines them, revealing that maybe, they were always telling the same story."
—Jorah Kai, co-author of The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu
