A classic tale from the Master of Weird Fiction, H.P. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu" chronicles the journey of Francis Wayland Thurston as he examines the notes of his dead uncle and learns of a strange and mysterious cult that worships an ancient monster - Cthulhu - a terrifying human/octopus/dragon hybrid that lives in the hidden city of R'lyeh.

HP Lovecraft was born in 1890 in Providence, Rhode Island. He was a prodigious but sickly youth. At 14, he contemplated suicide when his grandfather died leaving him and his mother almost penniless. He began to write poetry and a series of literary spats in a newspaper brought him attention and the beginnings of a career. But until the last decade of his life, the works for which we is so well known did not arrive. That last decade was prolific, but with little income, his life downgraded from one rented house to another.

One secret. One cult. One cosmic being. When his uncle dies, it’s up to Francis Wayland Thurston to finally uncover the family secret. For too long, recounts of dreams becoming reality had cast a sombre shadow over the family. And it seems these dreams didn’t die with the uncle. But when Francis discovers hidden notes of a mysterious cult, the truth turns darker than anyone could have ever imagined. A monster is on the rise. But one that is worshipped by those touched by evil, rather than feared.
