The Call of Cthulhu

H.P. Lovecraft

Title: The Call of Cthulhu 
Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1928 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Number 34 in the Timeless Terrors series 
Description: 
The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft is the cornerstone of cosmic horror — a vast and terrifying revelation that humanity is but a fleeting whisper beneath the gaze of ancient, indifferent gods. Told through fragmented reports, journal entries, and the haunted memories of those who have glimpsed forbidden truths, it weaves a chilling investigation into the cult of Cthulhu — a monstrous being sleeping beneath the Pacific, whose awakening would end all that we know. 
Lovecraft constructs his myth through suggestion and implication, blending mystery, anthropology, and existential terror into a narrative that expands horror beyond the human scale. This is not merely a story of monsters, but of meaning undone — where sanity erodes in the face of incomprehensible reality. 
Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author  Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s investigative tension and creeping dread — the inexorable uncovering of truths too vast for the mind to hold. While the text itself is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to resurrecting the masters of the macabre, The Call of Cthulhu stands as Lovecraft’s defining vision — a tale of cosmic insignificance, ancient worship, and the terrible awakening of what should forever sleep. 
Prepare for a descent into madness, mystery, and myth — where knowledge itself is the most dangerous horror of all.
