About this ebook

When Francis Wayland Thurston stumbles upon the scattered notes of his late great-uncle, he uncovers a terrifying truth hidden beneath layers of forgotten history. Strange cults, ancient idols, and the delirious accounts of sailors and madmen all point to a single, nightmarish revelation: an ancient cosmic entity lies dreaming beneath the sea, its awakening inevitable. As Thurston pieces together the fragments of this eldritch mystery, he realizes that some knowledge is too terrible to bear—and that madness may be the only escape.

One of H. P. Lovecraft’s most influential tales, The Call of Cthulhu introduces the world to the Great Old Ones and the insignificance of humanity in the face of cosmic horror. With its creeping dread and unsettling revelations, this story remains a cornerstone of weird fiction, inspiring generations drawn to the abyss.


H.P. LOVECRAFT [1890-1937], born in Providence, Rhode Island, was an American writer known for his horror, fantasy, and science fiction stories. Both of Lovecraft's parents suffered from mental illness, which greatly influenced his youth. He began writing at an early age but had a limited readership during his lifetime. Today, Lovecraft is regarded as an icon of popular culture and is considered one of the most influential and innovative horror writers of the 20th century, often compared to Edgar Allan Poe.
