There has long been a debate among certain obscure and drunken literary scholars about whether PATRICK THOMAS was raised by Cthulhu, a leprechaun in a Manhattan bar, or two human parents. What there is no arguing about is that Patrick is the award-winning author of the beloved Murphy's Lore fantasy humor series (9 books from Tales from Bulfinche's Pub to The Mug Life), and the darkly hilarious Dear Cthulhu advice empire (6 collections including Cthulhu Knows Best and What Would Cthulhu Do?) and the creator of the Agents of the Abyss monster spy series (including Frankenstein: Monsters of the Abyss and Staring Into The Abyss).
