Summary

"a masterpiece, which I am sure will live as one of the highest achievements of literature.... Mr. Lovecraft holds a unique position in the literary world; he has grasped, to all intents, the worlds outside our paltry ken." - Robert E. Howard, creator of Conan

Now popular through role-playing games, card games, comic books, and an entire horror subgenre named The Cthulhu Mythos, Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu ranks among the greatest horror short stories ever written.

Pieced together through several different "sources", Lovecraft magnificently paints a portrait of unease which grows upon the subconscious. Records surface of a Cthulhu Cult, who worship a diety with a "cuttlefish head, dragon body, scaly wings, and heiroglyphed pedestal". Such primitive cults have always existed in the world, of course. But what if there really were such a monster as that described slumbering in the depths of the ocean? What would happen if this sleeping Krakon was roused, and began to wreak an other worldly havoc?

Running time: 1 hour and 22 minutes long

superb!!
From Mark Eanes of Franklin, Indiana on 8/13/2015.

As I've often stated, Mr. Harrison has so much talent, he could read the phone book out loud and it would be highly entertaining! Such a marvel to behold his voice talents! What can be said about ther Call of Cthulhu, that hasn't already been said? I love it so much, I named my faction after it! lol

Great storytelling
From sarah voorhees of Franklin, Indiana on 11/11/2014.

Good story and well read. Enjoyed this very much.

Exemplary
From Saturday Sportsman of Phoenix, Arizona on 9/29/2014.

Great recording. BJ Harrison is hands down the best narrator out there.

Excellent Read
From John Mello of Woonsocket, Rhode Island on 2/11/2014.

Mr. Harrison does an outstanding job of capturing the horror in this Lovecraft classic. Listening to this audiobook with the lights ON is recommended as it can be very frightening in the dark.

Scary stuff
From Emanuel Nazareth of Toronto, Ontario on 11/15/2013.

As always a great narration. I'm looking forward to more H.P. Lovecraft.
