The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories

The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories is Penguin Classics' first omnibus collection of works by H. P. Lovecraft, a key 20th-century American novelist. It was published in October 1999 and is still available. The book is named after H.P. Lovecraft's short story "The Call of Cthulhu".

This version has a new preface and explanatory comments on individual tales by prominent Lovecraft researcher S. T. Joshi and is the first new paperback publishing of Lovecraft's writings since the Del-Rey editions. The tales' texts are mostly the same corrected versions seen in earlier Arkham House editions of Lovecraft's writings, also edited by Joshi, with a few more errors rectified for the current editions.

"The Call of Cthulhu", a detective narrative turned horror thriller, follows an investigator who is unintentionally drawn into an underworld of banned cults, lunacy, and monsters at sea. This narrative, a snapshot of a planet on the verge of destruction, portrays the pan-psychic terror of Lovecraft's old gods better than any other Lovecraft story and provides the reader a taste of what is to come when The Stars Are Right.
