The Call of Cthulhu | Cthulhu Awakens | Mansions of Madness | Cosmic Horror Ambience

Our Call of Cthulhu ambience, serves as a perfect soundtrack for adventures in Mansions of Madness, The Call of Cthulhu & Eldritch Horror. A dark cult attempts to raise Cthulhu from deathlike sleep - can you stop the ritual in time!

An ongoing theme in Lovecraft's work is the complete irrelevance of mankind in the face of the cosmic horrors that exist in the universe. Lovecraft made frequent references to the "Great Old Ones", a loose pantheon of ancient, powerful deities from space who once ruled the Earth and have since fallen into a deathlike sleep. While these monstrous deities were present in almost all of Lovecraft's published work (his second short story "Dagon", published in 1919, is considered the start of the Mythos), the first story to really expand the pantheon of Great Old Ones and its themes is "The Call of Cthulhu", which was published in 1928.

Lovecraft broke with other pulp writers of the time by having his main characters' minds deteriorate when afforded a glimpse of what exists outside their perceived reality. He emphasized the point by stating:

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents."
