The Call of Cthulhu

A short story by H. P. Lovecraft (online text), first published in Weird Tales for February, 1928. The story recounts disparate strands of evidence for the persistence of the ancient alien being Cthulhu on Earth.

Amos Tuttle had read the story, and noticed that the sentence "Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’ nagl fhtagn" also occurred in the R'lyeh Text. [AWD Hastur]

John Conrad held that "The Call of Cthulhu" is one of the three master horror tales. [REH Children (online text)]

Georg Fischer haunted secondhand bookstores, hunting down copies of magazines (mostly Weird Tales) with Lovecraft stories in them, including "The Call of Cthulhu." [FL Terror2]
