The Call of Cthulhu" is one of H. P. Lovecraft's best-known short stories. Written in the summer of 1926, it was first published in Weird Tales, February 1928. It is the only story written by Lovecraft in which the extraterrestrial entity Cthulhu himself makes a major appearance. It is written in a documentary style, with three independent narratives linked together by the device of a narrator discovering notes left by a deceased relative. The narrator pieces together the whole truth and disturbing significance of the information he possesses, illustrating the story's first line: "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity; and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Agora eu sei porque esse conto é um clássico!

Finalmente li o famoso Call of Cthulhu, que conto incrível! Completamente atmosférico, te deixa tenso o tempo todo, o medo do desconhecido é algo muito presente no ser humano. Aqui Lovecraft brinca com essa premissa de maneira magistral.

Vou ler mais coisas dele com certeza!
