This is a classic of horror short story. It follows a man who is investigating a secret cult. The Cthulhu cult whose followers are waiting for the Coming back of an ancient god. Having read some strange notes left by his late uncle the man then goes around the world looking for the places and people mentioned. The things he learns are scarier than hell.
Loved the writing buy got shocked by those nasty remarks Lovecraft is well known for. However I guess those remarks contributed to the already dark and hideous atmosphere set throughout the story.
So far I've read 47 stories in the B&N Volume and out of those The Call of Cthulhu is one of my favourites, with the Transition of Juan Romero, The Outsider, Herbert West - Reanimator and maybe Under the Pyramids.
