In “The Call of the Codfather,” the Children of Thalassor, a declining cult, meet covertly beneath a fish bar, struggling to invoke their drowned god, Thalassor. When reluctant scion Billy Pike returns for a funeral, he inadvertently unleashes chaos but ultimately negotiates a system for both the god and his family, transforming their absurdity into manageable governance. The story blends comedy, cosmic horror, and familial ties.
