The Weird of Hali is John Michael Greer’s most ambitious fiction project: a seven-novel series that inverts H.P. Lovecraft’s cosmic horror. Instead of treating the Great Old Ones as existential threats, the series presents their worshippers as guardians of ancient wisdom and ecological balance, while the “heroic” forces opposing them are agents of destruction. Each novel takes its name from a location in Lovecraft’s fiction — Innsmouth, Kingsport, Arkham — and reimagines what happens there.
Published between 2016 and 2019, the series draws on Greer’s knowledge of occultism and ecology to create a version of the Cthulhu mythos where the conventional heroes and villains have switched places.
