Культова повість культового письменника жанру, що може бути краще? Ілюстрації чудово доповнюють твір та передають його атмосферу. Читав сидячи дома ввечері під світлом лампи та хорор музику, це лякає

La llamada de Cthulhu es un relato corto de ficción de terror escrito por H. P. Lovecraft en 1926 y publicado en la revista pulp Weird Tales en febrero de 1928. La obra es considerada una de las más importantes del género y ha sido adaptada a diversos medios, incluyendo películas, videojuegos y juegos de rol.

El relato narra la historia de un grupo de investigadores que se ven envueltos en una conspiración para resucitar a Cthulhu, una antigua y maligna criatura de origen extraterrestre. La historia se desarrolla en diversas locaciones, incluyendo la ciudad de Providence, Rhode Island, el pueblo de Innsmouth, Massachusetts, y la isla de R'lyeh, en el Océano Pacífico.

Lovecraft utiliza una prosa evocadora y un estilo narrativo que se ha convertido en un sello distintivo de su obra. El relato está repleto de elementos de terror cósmico, como la presencia de fuerzas malignas y alienígenas que amenazan con destruir la humanidad.

La llamada de Cthulhu es una obra maestra del género de terror. La historia es inquietante y adictiva, y el estilo de Lovecraft es hipnótico. El relato ha tenido una gran influencia en la literatura de terror, y sigue siendo uno de los relatos más populares del género.
