Day 19 - THE CALL OF CTHULHU (Lovecraft, 1926)
The story is presented as a manuscript by a narrator that put together notes left behind by a deceased relative. This is where the extra-terrestrial being Cthulhu makes an appearance. Cthulu is referred to a “thing that cannot be described”, although hints are provided in that it is a green, sticky spawn of the stars with flabby claws, a squid-head with writhing feelers and appears like a stumbling mountain.
