The Call of Cthulhu H. P. Lovecraft - "The Call of Cthulhu" is one of H. P. Lovecraft's most popular brief tales. Written in the late spring of 1926, it was first distributed in Quite a while, February 1928. It is the main story composed by Lovecraft in which the extraterrestrial element Cthulhu himself shows up.It is written in a narrative style, with three autonomous stories connected together by the gadget of a storyteller finding notes left by a perished relative. The storyteller sorts out every bit of relevant information and upsetting meaning of the data he has, representing the story's first line: "The most kind thing on the planet, I believe, is the powerlessness of the human psyche to correspond every one of its substance. We live on a tranquil island of obliviousness amidst dark oceans of boundlessness; and it was not implied that we should journey far."

"The Call of Cthulhu" by Howard Phillips H. P. Lovecraft is one of the classic horror works, so called “Lovecraft horrors”. American author of horror, fantasy, and science fiction, Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror; the idea that life is incomprehensible to human minds and that the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fiction featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism, and Christian humanism. Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the mirror-opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality. Some people adore it, some people find it way too long (reading it is definitely work), but everyone agrees it’s a monumental story that ties together the universe where “The Call of Cthulhu,” The Shadow Over Innsmouth, “The Dunwich Horror,” and lots of other stories exist. A group of explorers go to Antarctica and discover evidence of a previous civilization. I don’t want to spoil the surprises, but I can at least tell you the big discovery the explorers make: There are things that even monsters fear.

The Whisperer in Darkness is a 26,000-word novella by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written February–September 1930, it was first published in Weird Tales, August 1931. Similar to The Colour Out of Space (1927), it is a blend of horror and science fiction. Although it makes numerous references to the Cthulhu Mythos, the story is not a central part of the mythos, but reflects a shift in Lovecraft's writing at this time towards science fiction. The story also introduces the Mi-go, an extraterrestrial race of fungoid creatures. The story is told by Albert N. Wilmarth, an instructor of literature at Miskatonic University in Arkham, Massachusetts. When local newspapers report strange things seen floating in rivers during a historic Vermont flood, Wilmarth becomes embroiled in a controversy regarding the reality and significance of the sightings. He sides with the skeptics, blaming old legends about monsters living in uninhabited hills that abduct people venturing too close to their territory. He receives a letter from Henry Wentworth Akeley, a man living in an isolated farmhouse near Townshend, Vermont, who claims to have proof that will convince Wilmarth he must stop questioning the creatures' existence. The two exchange letters that include an account of the extraterrestrial race chanting with human agents in worship of several beings, including Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep, the latter of whom "shall put on the semblance of men, the waxen mask and the robe that hides"...

"The Horror at Red Hook" is a short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft, written on August 1–2, 1925. "Red Hook" is a transitional tale, situated between the author's earlier work and the later Cthulhu Mythos. Although the story depicts a sinister cult, this cult offers a conventionally occult devil-worshipping threat, rather than the cosmic threat depicted in his later work. Living in poverty in the slum of Red Hook at the time of writing, Lovecraft was at this time urgently attempting to widen his markets in the pulp magazines. By having an unusually proactive Irish New York police detective as his protagonist, he hoped for a swift sale to a detective pulp, which would have opened up a new market other than his usual Weird Tales magazine. He did not get such a sale, and had to fall back on Weird Tales. "Red Hook" was thus first published in the January 1927 issue of Weird Tales.

In "At the Mountains of Madness," H. P. Lovecraft masterfully weaves a chilling narrative that explores humanity's insignificance in the face of incomprehensible cosmic forces. Set against the desolate backdrop of Antarctica, the novella employs a rich tapestry of intricate prose and a slow-burning tension, gradually revealing the secrets of an ancient civilization and the horrors that lie beneath the ice. Lovecraft's signature blend of gothic horror and science fiction conjures an atmosphere of dread, reflecting the existential anxieties of the early 20th century and the burgeoning field of speculative literature that sought to expand the boundaries of human understanding. Lovecraft, a pivotal figure in the realm of weird fiction, was inspired by his deep interests in science, philosophy, and the unknown. His own struggles with personal isolation and societal rejection infused his works with themes of forbidden knowledge and existential despair. "At the Mountains of Madness" serves as both a terrifying tale and a philosophical commentary on mankind's ephemeral existence, drawing heavily from Lovecraft's fascination with ancient mythologies and the limits of human perception. This novella is essential reading for enthusiasts of horror and science fiction alike, offering profound insights into the fragility of sanity when confronted with the cosmic horror that lurks beyond our comprehension. Lovecraft's exploration of fear, knowledge, and the unknown invites readers to reflect on their place in the universe, making it a timeless classic that resonates with both contemporary and future generations.

"From Beyond" is a horror short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. It was written in 1920 and was first published in The Fantasy Fan in June 1934. The story is told from the first-person perspective of an unnamed narrator and details his experiences with a scientist named Crawford Tillinghast. Tillinghast creates an electronic device that emits a resonance wave, which stimulates an affected person's pineal gland, thereby allowing them to perceive planes of existence outside the scope of accepted reality. Sharing the experience with Tillinghast, the narrator becomes cognizant of a translucent, alien environment that overlaps our own recognized reality. From this perspective, he witnesses hordes of strange and horrific creatures that defy description. Tillinghast reveals that he has used his machine to transport his house servants into the overlapping plane of reality. He also reveals that the effect works both ways, and allows the alien creature denizens of the alternate dimension to perceive humans. Tillinghast's servants were attacked and killed by one such alien entity, and Tillinghast informs the narrator that it is right behind him. Terrified beyond measure, the narrator picks up a gun and shoots it at the machine, destroying it. Tillinghast dies immediately thereafter as a result of apoplexy. The police investigate the scene and it is placed on record that Tillinghast murdered the servants in spite of their remains never being found.
