What to expect
When his uncle dies, it’s up to Francis Wayland Thurston to finally uncover the family secret. For too long, recounts of dreams becoming reality had cast a sombre shadow over the family. And it seems these dreams didn’t die with the uncle.
But when Francis discovers hidden notes of a mysterious cult, the truth turns darker than anyone could have ever imagined. A monster is on the rise. But one that is worshipped by those touched by evil, rather than feared. Can Francis break the curse and save those around him? Or will the curse and cult break him?
Weaving a dark and chilling tale, H. P. Lovecraft’s ‘The Call of Cthulhu’ remains one of the earliest examples of cosmic horror literature. Leaving a rip-roaring influence on the likes of Stephen King, ‘The Call of Cthulhu’ is the perfect tale for fans of Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things’.
