The Call of Cthulhu (29pages)

Call of Cthulhu is a cult classic...and I mean that literally. This story revolves around news paper articles that form around a cult that worship the God of dreams Cthulu who is said to be the one that will destroy the world or to start a chain of events that will. Cthulu is a Giant green Squid with bat wings trapped under rubble of a temple after a century old fight with Dagon. Cthulhu is said to control dreams, thus controling the motives of people and at the end of the story the cult summons the bat-winged mocking imps of Tartarus (imps that appear to build Cthulhu a new home and to do their dirty work.

Memorable Line: ...-this test of my own sanity, wherein is pieced together that which I hope may never pieced together again. I looked upon all that the universe has to hold of horror, and even the skies of spring and the flowers of summer must ever afterward be poison to me

Style: the whole, news article style reminds me of Bram Stoker's Dracula how that was a cult novel and that was all entries in a notebook

Exterior Notes: (I love this story )
