# The call of Cthulhu

By H. P. Lovecraft.

"The Call of Cthulhu" by H. P. Lovecraft is a cosmic horror short story written in 1926 and published in 1928. After inheriting his grand-uncle's mysterious notes, Francis Wayland Thurston pieces together a terrifying puzzle involving disturbing dreams, ancient cults, and a monstrous entity called Cthulhu. His investigation leads him across continents, from New Orleans rituals to a nightmare city on an uncharted island, where something immense and ancient awaits. As Thurston uncovers the truth, he realizes he may become the next target. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
