About this ebook

The Call of Cthulhu is H. P. Lovecraft’s most well-known and celebrated work of supernatural horror fiction. The short story is a fantastic fusion of science fiction and thrilling tension.

Francis Thurston is sorting through the notes of his late grand-uncle, a renowned professor of Semitic languages. As Thurston delves deeper into his relative’s research, he stumbles across evidence related to the existence of a cult that worships an ancient demonic god. As he follows the nightmarish connections made by his grand-uncle, he begins to realise the horror and madness that lies in wait not just for him but for the world.

First published in 1928, this chilling short story is not to be missed by fans of H. P. Lovecraft’s pioneering work in supernatural and science fiction horror.
