The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu

De: Ernest Hemingway, Jorah Kai

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

“When Hemingway meets Lovecraft, humanity faces its greatest fear: the void.”
If you loved the runaway success of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies—now an international bestseller and hit Hollywood film—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 wander the disillusioned landscapes of Europe, searching for love, purpose, and meaning. But beneath their fragile lives stirs a mind-shattering force—an ancient terror determined to resurrect elder gods and unravel reality itself. As the veil thins between human frailty and eldritch dread, the Lost Generation must face its ultimate test: defy the incomprehensible… or descend into madness.
Brought to life by Nobel and Pulitzer Prize–winner Ernest Hemingway—author of The Old Man and the Sea—and Jorah Kai, the modern minstrel of the macabre celebrated for the darkly psychedelic Amos the Amazing, this literary horror odyssey charts a path through existential longing, cosmic terror, and the bittersweet ache of identity and love.
A cult classic in the making, The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu resurrects a cherished novel into a realm of unimaginable nightmares. At once haunting, hilarious, and hypnotic, it’s a genre-defying tale for our time. Perfect for fans of literary experiments, cosmic horror, and books that linger—like a dream you can’t shake.

Praise for The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu:
“A cosmic cocktail of Hemingway and Lovecraft—graceful, stylish, and gloriously strange. A wild ride.”
—Robert Rivenbark, award-winning author of The Cloud

“Honey, this book’s as wild as a fox in a henhouse! A slow-simmering pot of cosmic gumbo—rich, strange, and full of surprises. Just don’t read it before bed, bless your heart.”
—Dragonfly Reads

“If you told me one of the most bizarrely satisfying books I’d read this year would be a mash-up of Ernest Hemingway and Lovecraftian horror, I’d have raised an eyebrow and asked what you were drinking. And yet here we are—The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu is real, and it’s absolutely something else. A fever dream with a beating heart; a love letter to lost souls wrapped in cosmic dread.”
—Ava, Coffee Book Couch

“A haunting, thought-provoking experience that seamlessly blends literary depth with psychological terror—and lingers long after the final page.”
—Donna Sundblad, author of Dragonborn and The Inheritance

(Not technically a blurb, but surprisingly on brand):
“I send my deep apologies, but am unable to provide a blurb at this time.”

Cthulhu Rises, Hemingway Lives—It's Spooky Good

I’ve read Hemingway before—he’s long held a place in the literary canon, and for good reason. So when I stumbled across this audiobook—The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu—I was equal parts intrigued and skeptical. A mashup of the Lost Generation and a cosmic apocalypse? It sounded like something cooked up at a very weird dinner party. And yet, here we are.

From the first few chapters, I was hooked. The AI narrator, to my surprise, is genuinely impressive. Its voice has an uncanny emotional depth and a natural, human cadence. American English, clearly spoken, with just the right tone for a story that shifts between ennui and existential dread. Within minutes, I forgot I was listening to a virtual voice at all.

But what really left me floored was how the story itself unfolded. Hemingway’s signature minimalist style is captured so well, it feels like he’s been resurrected—if not in flesh, then in form. That uncanny return, paired with a story of madness and monsters, made me question reality a little. In the best way.

The front matter—the author notes, the fictional letters—adds layers of context that only deepen the experience. Rather than distracting from the narrative, they ground it, making the absurd feel intimate, almost inevitable. There’s a Mad Hatter logic to it all: strange, a little dangerous, and entirely compelling.

This isn’t a parody or a one-note joke. It’s thoughtful, gutsy, and surprisingly elegant. As wild as the premise sounds, it’s handled with respect for both Hemingway and Lovecraft. A true feat of storytelling.

Good job, Jorah Kai. You pulled off something mad, absurd—and kind of great. I’d love to hear a future edition read by you or a top-tier human voice actor. But even now, the virtual version does the job beautifully.

Highly recommended for the curious, the nostalgic, and those who like their literature with a dash of madness.
