Francis Thurston goes through documents left behind by his grandfather's brother, recently deceased under mysterious circumstances. He soon discovers the existence of a cult that worships ancient and unspeakable horrors. Mysterious murders, blood rituals in the depths of the Louisiana swamps, artists who descend into insanity after nightmarish visions, and a Cyclopean city that rises from the sea. Step by step, Thurston realizes that his relative's research got too close to the truth. In the shadows, there are those who want to wake the sleeping god Cthulhu in order to spread madness and destruction over the entire world. The stars are right. Is the end near? H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu, first published in 1928, is one of the greatest classics of American horror literature. Cthulhu himself, dreaming and waiting at the bottom of the sea, became a symbol for the entire mythology that Lovecraft created. François Baranger, an illustrator who has previously worked in film and games, was fascinated early on by Lovecraft's creatures and visions which populated the darkest recesses of fantasy. In this book, he has taken on the work of illustrating Lovecraft's most iconic novel. Review: Great Book given no love by desertcart - I really like this version of Call of Cthulhu with it's beautiful artwork by Francois Baranger. This is why I've given it a top score of five out of five. It's a large book although quite slim. But the art is where this book truly shines. Baranger's artwork is fantastic and is some of the best Mythos-related work you'll find anywhere. As a result this has to be a must have for fans of this genre I reckon. However, buyer beware! The first book I received was poorly packaged by desertcart. Placed in a large box with just a bit of paper thrown in (shown in the pic), which did the book's corners no favours as it could slide around easily. But this was not the reason I asked for replacement. That was because the first page was damaged. Some days later I received a replacement, which was good, but this was also just as poorly packaged. Thankfully it was undamaged, apart from slight scuffed corners, but nothing much to fret about. The dust cover was covered in sticky stuff though, as if whoever packaged it had been eating sweets and had mucky fingers. Thankfully this did clean off, although it wasn't as easily done as I'd like and not something I think I should have to do when I buy a book. Note - I also bought the At the Mountains of Madness version of this series from desertcart. I just received it this morning, sent in a flimsy envelope with two of the book's pages ripped at the corners. This will also be getting sent back. Hopefully the replacement isn't damage also. Due to these experiences I think I'll be buying books from elsewhere in future. Review: Awesome - I do not have words, it is insane...amazing and enjoyable reading. Also the illustrations are incredible and the story is cool. I highly recommend it. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 233,703 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 2,241 in Horror Graphic Novels (Books) 3,060 in Crime & Mystery Graphic Novels 52,637 in Science Fiction & Fantasy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,664 Reviews | ## Images ![The Call of Cthulhu - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rHR4HYYSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book given no love by Amazon *by M***Y on 23 November 2020* I really like this version of Call of Cthulhu with it's beautiful artwork by Francois Baranger.

Also the illustrations are incredible and the story is cool. I highly recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Is A "BIG" Book *by S***R on 16 August 2025* If you are a fan of H. P. Lovecraft and you like books that are illustrated with good artwork, then this is for you. Make no mistake though, this is a significantly large book - sitting in a chair and reading it on your lap is a bit awkward. The artwork is just brilliant and adds significantly to the pleasure of reading. There are also several other Lovecraft books in the same series - all with very good artwork and identical in size. Highly recommended if you're a fan of Lovecraft. ## Frequently Bought Together - THE CALL OF CTHULHU - At the Mountains of Madness Vol 1 - At the Mountains of Madness Vol. 2 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/168371687-the-call-of-cthulhu](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/168371687-the-call-of-cthulhu) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
