"The Call of Cthulhu" by H. P. Lovecraft

THE CALL OF CTHULHU, first published in Weird Tales in 1928, is a foundational tale of Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos. Told through a series of manuscripts and testimonies, the story traces a hidden pattern of strange dreams, cult activity, and archaeological discoveries that point toward the existence of an ancient cosmic entity: Cthulhu, a monstrous Great Old One.
