H.P. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu" (1928) is one of the most influential works of horror fiction ever written, introducing the concept of "cosmic horror"—terror derived not from human evil or supernatural malevolence, but from humanity's utter insignificance in an indifferent universe. However, Lovecraft's story, like most of his Cthulhu Mythos tales, presents the Great Old Ones from a human perspective, filtered through the limited comprehension of his narrators.
Cthulhu: The Geometry of Dread attempts something different: to tell Cthulhu's story from Cthulhu's perspective, to present the incomprehensible as if it were comprehensible, to make the reader complicit in an alien mode of consciousness.
