Dagon[1] is a novel by author Fred Chappell published in 1968. The novel is a psychological thriller with supernatural elements, attempting to tell a Cthulhu Mythos story as a psychologically realistic Southern Gothic novel. It was awarded the Best Foreign Book of the Year prize by the French Academy in 1972.[2]
This early novel is one of the author's most widely read works. In The New York Times, it was praised as being "of a very high order [and] precise, dry elegance".[3]
