About this audiobook

Dive into the heart of cosmic horror with H.P. Lovecraft's seminal work, "The Call of Cthulhu." This masterful tale weaves together the mysterious, the terrifying, and the utterly alien, introducing readers to the world of the Great Old Ones, ancient beings of immense power and inscrutable motives. Follow the journey of Francis Wayland Thurston, as he uncovers clues leading to the true nature of the universe and the lurking horror of Cthulhu, asleep in the sunken city of R'lyeh. Lovecraft's richly detailed narrative crafts a universe where the bounds of reality are stretched, and the fragile psyche of humanity is laid bare against the backdrop of the incomprehensible. "The Call of Cthulhu" is not just a story; it's an experience, a chilling descent into the darkness that dwells beyond the veil of human understanding.

H.P. Lovecraft

H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American author of science fiction and horror stories. Born in Providence, Rhode Island to a wealthy family, he suffered the loss of his father at a young age. Raised with his mother’s family, he was doted upon throughout his youth and found a paternal figure in his grandfather Whipple, who encouraged his literary interests. He began writing stories and poems inspired by the classics and by Whipple’s spirited retellings of Gothic tales of terror. In 1902, he began publishing a periodical on astronomy, a source of intellectual fascination for the young Lovecraft. Over the next several years, he would suffer from a series of illnesses that made it nearly impossible to attend school. Exacerbated by the decline of his family’s financial stability, this decade would prove formative to Lovecraft’s worldview and writing style, both of which depict humanity as cosmologically insignificant. Supported by his mother Susie in his attempts to study organic chemistry, Lovecraft eventually devoted himself to writing poems and stories for such pulp and weird-fiction magazines as Argosy, where he gained a cult following of readers. Early stories of note include “The Alchemist” (1916), “The Tomb” (1917), and “Beyond the Wall of Sleep” (1919). “The Call of Cthulu,” originally published in pulp magazine Weird Tales in 1928, is considered by many scholars and fellow writers to be his finest, most complex work of fiction. Inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, and Lord Dunsany, Lovecraft became one of the century’s leading horror writers whose influence remains essential to the genre.
