"The Edgar Allan Poe of the 20th century," who after his death found numerous literary successors, including Stephen King and Neil Gaiman, Howard Phillips Lovecraft was virtually unknown in life. His iconic story, "The Call of Cthulhu," was born in a time of despair, need, and failure—out of nightmares that haunted the writer since childhood.
Francis Thurston discovers a bas-relief depicting a mysterious creature among the belongings of a deceased relative. His search for a solution leads him to the cult of an ancient deity sleeping in the depths of the Pacific Ocean... Who is it? And what will happen if it awakens from its slumber?

"The Call of Cthulhu" is a hallmark of the cosmic horror genre, the starting point for Lovecraft's bottomless, nightmare-filled universe. It is believed that the idea for the story came to the author in a dream. It explores the idea of some things that are best left unexplored, because there is no escape from them. In addition to "The Call of Cthulhu," the collection also includes other significant stories by Lovecraft: "Dagon," "The Dunwich Nightmare," "The Visitor from Darkness," and "The Dreams in the Witch House."
