The Call of Cthulhu (Pocket Ed.) (14+ years)

Our Review

If you've never read Lovecraft, this edition from Austral Esenciales is the perfect choice. You don't need a 40-euro luxury edition to feel the shivers brought on by the arrival of the Primordials. This version is affordable, manageable, and contains the pure essence of cosmic horror. It's the ideal book for those who want to discover why Lovecraft is the father of modern horror without complications, with clean typography and a format that invites reading anywhere.

What we like most about this collection is that it democratizes the classics. The Call of Cthulhu is just as enjoyable in hardcover as it is in this pocket edition; ultimately, what matters is that feeling that something immense and ancient is watching us from the depths of the ocean.

Book Details

Synopsis

After the death of an eminent professor from Brown University, his nephew discovers a series of documents linking collective madness attacks, bloody cults in the Louisiana swamps, and a cyclopean city emerging from the waters of the Pacific. At the center of it all, Cthulhu: an entity from the stars waiting in its slumber to sow chaos.

About the Author

H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937), the "hermit of Providence," spent much of his life writing stories that transformed the gothic genre into something far more terrifying: materialistic and cosmic horror. Although during his time his stories only appeared in pulp magazines like Weird Tales, his legacy has influenced authors such as Stephen King, Guillermo del Toro, and Neil Gaiman. His work centers on the idea that the universe is a hostile place, indifferent to human existence.
