This is one of Lovecraft's most beautifully written and frightening stories. It is written from the perspective of a surveyor, who, while surveying a rural area that is to be flooded near the town of Arkham, comes across a mysterious, abandoned farmstead, which is completely devoid of all life. At the center of the farmstead is an old well. The site fills him with an unnatural sense of dread, and, as it turns out, there is good reason for that feeling.

Publisher's Summary

Madness and incantations in the nightmares of poets. Vicious ancient cults in the mountains and swamps. A corpse city rising in the sea. After Professor Angell meets a sudden and mysterious end, Francis Thurston, while sorting through his uncle's papers, makes a fateful discovery that ties these malignant manifestations together. Taken together, what they awaken from the deep will, as Francis warns us, "Open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."

Of the dozens of tales that comprise the mythos of H. P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu, first published in Weird Tales in 1928, is the cosmic core of his universe. Please enjoy this foreboding novella, and beware what dreams may come thereafter.

This production of The Call of Cthulhu is an official selection of the 2016 HEAR Now Festival.

Classic Lovecraft

I love this story, like many, I'm sure this is the one that people start out with when exploring the world of Lovecraft.

Not for me...too racist

The narrator was good! I know this is an old story and it was a different time but I could not get myself to finish due to the racist undertones and vocabulary in this story.

Not bad

Overall, it was alright. The voice actor was great that was reading the book. But because it was made so long ago i feel like it didn't really scare me at all. Maybe it is because i couldn't relate to the character. But i am glad i finally got to hear a h.p lovecraft ebook.
