About this listen

Madness and incantations in the nightmares of poets. Vicious ancient cults in the mountains and swamps. A corpse city rising in the sea. After Professor Angell meets a sudden and mysterious end, Francis Thurston, while sorting through his uncle's papers, makes a fateful discovery that ties these malignant manifestations together. Taken together, what they awaken from the deep will, as Francis warns us, "Open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."

Of the dozens of tales that comprise the mythos of H. P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu, first published in Weird Tales in 1928, is the cosmic core of his universe. Please enjoy this foreboding novella, and beware what dreams may come thereafter.

This production of The Call of Cthulhu is an official selection of the 2016 HEAR Now Festival.

Great story, only thing thst annoyed me is the pronounciation of "Cthulhu" and "Dunedin" being from New Zealand that was irritating. Its pronounced Dun-e-din just as its spelt. othrr than that it was great!

Overall, it was alright. The voice actor was great that was reading the book. But because it was made so long ago i feel like it didn't really scare me at all. Maybe it is because i couldn't relate to the character. But i am glad i finally got to hear a h.p lovecraft ebook.

Not bad
