This lecture discusses key ideas from the early 20th century weird and horror story writer, H.P. Lovecraft's short story "The Call of Cthulhu", a classic work of cosmic horror and absolutely central to what will later come to be called the Cthulhu mythos.
It focuses specifically on the third part of the story, which includes an account originally written down by 2nd mate Johansen of the boat Emma, recapitulated by the narrator, of the encounter of the city of R'lyeh risen from the sea, and with the Great Old One Cthulhu
