Now You CAN Read Sutter Cane

Sutter Cane's Most Anticipated Novel Has Arrived

In the Mouth of Madness is the long-lost novel fans have been waiting for.

Readers of his earlier books (The Hobbs End Horror, The Thing in the Basement, The Breathing Tunnel, Haunter in the Dark, The Feeding and The Whisperer of the Dark) will recognize his signature blend of psychological terror and cosmic dread.

Sutter Cane has always been a figure shrouded in mystery. Critics have called his writing "dangerously immersive" and "deeply infectious." Although sales records are incomplete or missing, many believe he has outsold every living author.

The story follows John Trent, an insurance investigator assigned to find Sutter Cane after his sudden disappearance. What begins as a simple missing person case soon spirals into a nightmare. Trent learns that Cane's fiction doesn't just reflect reality, it may shape it.

Will you read Sutter Cane?

John Carpenter's In The Mouth of Madness is one of the greatest horror movies of all time, a loving homage to the cosmic horror of HP Lovecraft (the grandfather of modern horror) that also embraces Stephen King (the father of modern horror, whose own work was heavily influenced by Lovecraft).

The film follows insurance investigator John Trent (Sam Neill) in his pursuit of missing author Sutter Cane (Jürgen Prochnow), who has vanished just ahead of the publication of his latest work, In The Mouth of Madness.

Trent believes the whole thing is an elaborate publicity stunt, an idea reinforced when he realises that images on the covers of previous Cane novels form a map to Cane's fictional town of Hobb's End.

For years, fans of the 1994 movie have been wanting a 'real' version of Cane's novel, In The Mouth of Madness. And now, as of October 1, the book can be yours!

Ghost-written by Christian Francis, the book is being released by Echo On the horror-centric publisher  masquerading as Arcane Publishing (Sutter Cane's 'in-universe' publisher).
