First published in 1928 in the pulp magazine Weird Tales, "The Call of Cthulhu" is a short story by American author H.P. Lovecraft, an early twentieth-century short-story writer famous for his works of horror and science fiction. Farnsworth Wright, the editor of Weird Tales, initially rejected the story, and only published it later at the subtle suggestion of Lovecraft's friend Donald Wandrei. The story originates a fictional mythology that Lovecraft's correspondent and protege August Derleth would later expand into the "Cthulhu Mythos."
