  "The Doom That Came to Sarnath" (1920) is a fantasy short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. It is written in a mythic/fantasy style and is associated with his Dream Cycle. It was first published in The Scot, a Scottish amateur fiction magazine, in June 1920. 
  According to the tale, more than 10,000 years ago, a race of shepherd people colonized the banks of the river Ai, in a land called Mnar, forming the cities of Thraa, Ilarnek, and Kadatheron (not to be confused with Kadath), which rose to great intellectual and mercantile prowess. Craving more land, a group of these hardy people migrated to the shores of a lonely and vast lake at the heart of Mnar, founding the city of Sarnath. 
  But the settlers were not alone. Not far from Sarnath was the ancient grey-stone city of Ib, inhabited by a strange race who had descended from the Moon. Lovecraft described them as "in hue as green as the lake and the mists that rise above it.... They had bulging eyes, pouting, flabby lips, and curious ears, and were without voices." These beings worshipped a strange god known as Bokrug, the Great Water Lizard, although it was more their physical form that caused the people of Sarnath to despise them. 
  The citizens of Sarnath killed all the creatures inhabiting Ib, destroyed the city, and took their idol as a trophy, placing it in Sarnath's main temple. The next night, the idol mysteriously vanished, and Taran-Ish, the high-priest of Sarnath, was found dead. Before dying, he had scrawled a single word onto the empty altar: "DOOM"....

  "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.

  Long before science, there were older truths, whispered by witches, guarded by cults, and written in blood. 
  In this sinister anthology, H. P. Lovecraft explores the shadowy world of ancient rites, folk horror, and inherited blasphemies. Here, strange festivals unfold under full moons, forgotten gods stir in rural hills, and knowledge forbidden by time itself reawakens.

  The Dunwich Horror

  The House in the Mist

  It was a night to drive any man indoors. Not only was the darkness impenetrable, but the raw mist enveloping hill and valley made the open road anything but desirable to a belated wayfarer like myself.Being young, untrammeled, and naturally indifferent to danger, I was not averse to adventure; and having my fortune to make, was always on the lookout for El Dorado, which, to ardent souls, lies ever beyond the next turning. Consequently, when I saw a light shimmering through the mist at my right, I resolved to make for it and the shelter it so opportunely offered.But I did not realize then, as I do now, that shelter does not necessarily imply refuge, or I might not have undertaken this adventure with so light a heart. Yet, who knows? The impulses of an unfettered spirit lean toward daring, and youth, as I have said, seeks the strange, the unknown and, sometimes, the terrible. (Exerpt from Chapter I)
