Call of Cthulhu is the least appealing of these stories. The others i'd recommend for those who want to learn more about the history of science fiction, or to discover largely-forgotten horror tropes. Not recommended to general readers (because of predictable plotlines & racism).
Graphic: Body horror, Mental illness, Racial slurs, Racism, Suicidal thoughts, Xenophobia, Antisemitism, Islamophobia, and Cannibalism
A primary theme is unavoidable planetary disaster.
