This is a video in my Speculative Fiction Studies series, which examines and analyses key aspects of classic and contemporary works in the genres that fall under the broad rubric of speculative fiction. This includes fantasy, science fiction, horror, alternate history, weird, cyberpunk, utopian, post-apocalyptic, and superhero fiction, among other genres
This video focuses on Howard Phillips Lovecraft's story The Call of Cthulhu, a classic work of cosmic horror and absolutely central to what will later come to be called the Cthulhu mythos. It discusses the account provided by Inspector Legrasse to the American Archeological Society which explains how he came by the idol of Cthulhu which he consults the AAS members about. He tells them of a raid by New Orleans police on what they originally thought was a voodoo cult.
