The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft

After uncovering a series of seemingly unrelated accounts—shipwrecks, cults, and nightmares—a professor reveals the terrifying truth: an ancient, sleeping god stirs beneath the sea. The story, told through nested narratives, builds an atmosphere of global dread and cosmic insignificance. Cthulhu’s looming presence embodies Lovecraft’s philosophy of the unknowable and indifferent universe. The Call of Cthulhu is the foundation of Lovecraft’s mythos and a masterclass in escalating horror. It is essential reading for fans of weird fiction.
