L'appel de Cthulhu by H.P. Lovecraft
4.0

The Call of Cthulhu is one of H.P. Lovecraft’s most iconic novellas, and now having read it, I can definitely see why.

In only the short space of novella, Lovecraft manages to create a convincing and tangible mythology of the great Cthulhu, and I was nothing short of impressed.

It is also so atmospheric - you can feel the macabre seeping off of the page. I would love to read this in English, as I’ve read many reviews saying that the language Lovecraft uses really enhances this terrifying atmosphere.

I would highly recommend if you’re looking for something spooky this Halloween season !
