The Call of Cthulhu

The Call of Cthulhu by Unspeakable Tales takes its place on Of Those Who Knew as an occult folk song inspired by an investigation. A sculptor’s disturbed dreams, a police account and a sailor’s testimony become terrifying when read together.

In Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu, Francis Wayland Thurston inherits evidence that initially looks fragmented and obscure. Each connection makes R’lyeh and the existence of Cthulhu harder to dismiss.

The central conflict is the act of assembling the record. No single clue carries the whole weight of the discovery; the catastrophe is the pattern. Finishing the investigation gives Thurston reasons to fear both what he has found and who might learn that he knows.
