The call of Cthulhu
By H. P. Lovecraft
The Call of Cthulu, the tale of a horrifying underwater monster coming to life and threatening mankind, is H.P. Lovecraft's most famous and most widely popular tale, spawning an entire mythology, with the power to strike terror into the hearts of even the Great OldOnes.
This is the one everyone seems to go on about! I’m so far loving my Lovecraft journey. This is my favourite so I can see why suggest this as the first one you read, I’m not sure you should as I’ve read a few of Lovecrafts short stories and I’m finally getting to grips on how he writes. Which I think is why I enjoyed this more the I thought.

Oct 5, 2025
The main attraction for me was the promise of some Finnish mythology and it’s diminishment under the cosh of Christianity. I love a bit of myth and legend in any and/ or all of its forms and nationalities, and North is the Night didn’t disappoint.
I loved the premis of the two female characters ending up in Tuonela (the land of the dead) even though they’re both very much alive.
Love, magic, death, life and bravery - it’s a heady mix!
