The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu
by Jorah Kai and Ernest Hemingway
April 1-4
“When Hemingway meets Lovecraft, humanity faces its greatest fear: the void.”
If you loved the runaway success of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, now a hit Hollywood movie and international bestseller, you’ll be captivated by The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu. This bold reimagining of Hemingway’s iconic novel collides with the boundless terror of H.P. Lovecraft, crafting an unforgettable journey into the heart of cosmic horror.
In the fractured aftermath of war, Jack Schitt, Ro’brt Ctholh’en, Brett Ashley, and Creepy Bill navigate the disillusioned landscapes of Europe, searching for love, purpose, and identity. But beneath their fragile lives stirs a mind-shattering horror—an ancient terror intent on resurrecting elder gods and unraveling the fabric of reality. As the lines blur between human frailty and cosmic dread, the Lost Generation faces its ultimate test: to defy the incomprehensible or succumb to madness.
Brought to life by Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning Ernest Hemingway and Jorah Kai, the modern minstrel of the macabre celebrated for the darkly psychedelic Amos the Amazing, this literary-horror masterpiece charts a path through existential longing, cosmic terror, and the poignant struggles of love and identity.
The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu resurrects a cherished classic into a realm of unimaginable nightmares. It is a tale for our time, combining Hemingway’s brilliance and Lovecraft’s terror in a genre-defying odyssey of haunting beauty. Perfect for fans of literary experiments and cosmic horror legends, this is a journey you cannot miss.

About the Author
Jorah Kai is an internationally bestselling author, journalist, and storyteller whose life brims with adventure and creativity. From his early career as a festival-headlining DJ/producer to his work as a gonzo journalist and existential detective, Kai’s eclectic experiences have shaped his bold, immersive writing. In 2014, he landed in cyberpunk Chongqing, where he teaches English and art history while writing for iChongqing, the primary English news desk for a megacity of 34 million people.
During the global pandemic in 2020, Kai’s journalistic instincts earned him recognition as the first Canadian reporter in China to contribute to CTV News, providing accurate predictions on COVID-19 developments that eluded experts for over a year. His nonfiction works—Kai’s Diary (a top 10 book in China), The Invisible War, Year of the Rat (featuring his childhood hero Jean-Claude Van Damme), and Aye of the Tiger—have garnered critical acclaim for their insight and urgency.
Kai’s fiction debut, Amos the Amazing, became an international bestseller in solarpunk fantasy, while his latest work, The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu, blends literary mastery with cosmic horror, reimagining Hemingway’s classic with a Lovecraftian twist. Complementing the novel is Sad Songs from an Old Goth in a Tree, a haunting book of poetry, and three atmospheric music albums: a soundtrack for the novel, an album sharing the poetry book’s title, and Voidwalker. Together, these works form an immersive universe where cosmic dread comes to life, inviting readers and listeners to experience the void itself.
Kai’s storytelling is cinematic and profound, reflecting the wisdom of a well-lived life and an eye for the absurdities of the human condition. When not writing, he draws inspiration from the meditative rhythm of beaches and the freedom of the open road, weaving vivid worlds that invite readers to journey beyond the ordinary and confront life’s deepest mysteries.
