In 1926, following the death of his great-uncle, Professor George Gammell Angell of Brown University, Boston anthropologist Francis Wayland Thurston inherited an extraordinary collection of notes, newspaper cuttings, police reports and curious artefacts. As he began to piece them together, a disturbing pattern emerged: scattered accounts of strange dreams, occult rites, impossible archaeological discoveries and whispered rumours of an ancient entity lying dormant beneath the sea.
What followed became one of the defining works of cosmic horror. Join Robert Lloyd Parry as he opens Thurston’s remarkable archive and leads you into H. P. Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu. By candlelight, you’ll encounter forgotten cults, cyclopean cities, blasphemous idols and unimaginable beings from beyond the stars. Once you have heard the evidence, you may find yourself agreeing with Lovecraft’s chilling conclusion: “We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity…”
