The story is narrated by Francis Wayland Thurston who recounts to the reader his discovery of various notes that were left behind by his great uncle. It is the tale of a horrifying underwater monster coming to life and threatening mankind. Lovecraft, first published in Weird Tales in 1928. The Call of Cthulhu is a short story by American writer H.
