The Call of Cthulhu

This carefully crafted ebook is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. "The Call of Cthulhu" is one of Lovecraft's best-known works. It is the only story where the extraterrestrial entity Cthulhu himself makes a major appearance. The narrator, Francis Wayland Thurston, recounts his discovery of strange notes left behind by his granduncle, George Gammell Angell, a prominent professor of Semitic languages at Brown University. The story revolves around a small bas-relief sculpture found among the papers, described as having a pulpy, tentacled head surmounted by a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings. The sculpture is the work of Henry Anthony Wilcox, who based it on delirious dreams of great Cyclopean cities. Lovecraft's works, inspired by his nightmares from childhood, have made him one of the most significant 20th-century authors in the horror genre.
