"The Call of Cthulhu" is a Cthulhu Mythos story by H. P. Lovecraft, first published in the February 1928 issue of Weird Tales Magazine. "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents." With these iconic words, Lovecraft opens The Call of Cthulhu, a cornerstone of twentieth-century horror and the defining tale of his vast Cthulhu Mythos. Presented as a series of interconnected documents and testimonies, the story follows a professor's descent into the tangled threads of a global mystery—a series of strange dreams, cult activity, and ancient carvings that all point to the same terrifying revelation: the Great Old One known as Cthulhu is real—and not entirely asleep.Zum Buch
