    When a being more ancient than humanity awakens, the apocalypse comes but not in the way tentpole movies have taught us to expect: Nihilistic dread meets comfy living rooms throughout the land, new-age hipsters discover new superfoods, baking enthusiasts experiment with new ingredients, and our new friends might want you to join their cult.
