A doomed expedition. An island that bleeds secrets. A war that will drown the world.

In the depths of the Great Depression, filmmaker-charlatan Victor Shaw leads a crew of desperate men to the edge of the known world. Their goal: to capture footage of a beast of legend on an uncharted island. But the fog-shrouded shore they find is more than a lost world—it’s a prison.

Two primal gods are locked in an endless, savage war for dominion. In one corner, a colossal ape, the island's mighty warden. In the other, a reptilian horror of terrifying power, the challenger from the deep earth. When these titans clash, the very island comes apart at the seams.

But the battle between monsters is not the true threat. The war is a sacred ritual, the only thing keeping a far more ancient and unspeakable evil sealed in its watery tomb. Now, with the ritual broken and the island collapsing into the sea, the surviving crew members discover the horrifying truth: their fight for survival is secondary to the fight for all of humanity.

Perfect for fans of classic creature features, Lovecraftian cosmic horror, and action-packed pulp adventure, Ape Island 1933 is a standalone story that pits terrifying prehistoric monsters against an even greater, world-ending threat.
