The Call of Cthulhu

by H. P. Lovecraft

A classic tale of cosmic horror, The Call of Cthulhu follows the narrator's discovery of terrifying knowledge about an ancient, powerful entity named Cthulhu. Through a series of documents and investigations, he uncovers evidence of a worldwide cult and encounters with a monstrous being that defies human comprehension. Written in Lovecraft's signature style, this story established many elements of what would become known as the Cthulhu Mythos.
