The call of Cthulhu

Through a series of disjointed manuscripts, diaries, and police reports, a terrifying truth emerges about a dormant cosmic entity waiting in the sunken city of R'lyeh. The narrative pieces together the dreams of sensitive artists, the rituals of hidden cults, and the testimony of a traumatized sailor. It establishes the central theme that the universe is inhabited by indifferent, god-like beings whose awakening spells doom for mankind. This foundational text defines the genre of cosmic horror.
