    "The Call of Cthulhu" is a seminal horror short story by H.P. Lovecraft, first published in 1928 in the pulp magazine Weird Tales. The story is structured as a series of interconnected narratives and documents that reveal the existence of an ancient, malevolent entity known as Cthulhu. 
    The plot follows Francis Wayland Thurston, a researcher who uncovers disturbing evidence about a cult that worships Cthulhu, a monstrous, god-like being that lies dormant beneath the ocean in the sunken city of R'lyeh. Through his investigation, Thurston pieces together accounts of strange dreams, mysterious artifacts, and horrific events that point to the awakening of Cthulhu and the terrifying influence it holds over the world. 
    "The Call of Cthulhu" is noted for its exploration of cosmic horror, a theme central to Lovecraft's work, where the universe is vast, indifferent, and inhabited by incomprehensible entities far beyond human understanding. The story is a cornerstone of the Cthulhu Mythos and has had a profound impact on horror literature, inspiring numerous adaptations and works by other authors.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz, and includes a fully immersive cinematic music score. 
    "The Diary of Alonzo Typer" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft and William Lumley. It is Lovecraft's revision of Lumley's "The Diary of Alonzo Typer, Found After His Mysterious Disappearance". It first appeared in the February 1938 issue of Weird Tales. 
    "Alonzo Hasbrouch Typer of Kingston, New York, was last seen and recognized on April 17, 1908, around noon, at the Hotel Richmond in Batavia. He was the only survivor of an ancient Ulster Country family, and was fifty-three years old at the time of his disappearance." 
    It features the Ancient One, as well as a passing reference to the city of Yian-Ho, seemingly referencing Robert W. Chambers' "The Maker of Moons," which references a mysterious city in China called Yian.
