Thanks so much! Y'know, Lovecraft himself had Abrahamic themes in his works. "Dagon" was the name of a Philistinian water god that is mentioned in the bible several times as a false idol. "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" uses him as the basis for the cult that controls the town.

I kind of wanted to tap into that, playing on that imagery and time period to make something really weird and terrifying. I had a lot of fun.
