Cthulhu Mythos: Call of Cthulhu and The Dunwich Horror

Details

The Cthulhu Mythos refers to a shared universe originating from the works of HP Lovecraft. Coined, by August Derleth, the term identifies the tropes used by Lovecraft with Cthulhu referring to the entity in Call of Cthulhu.

In this session, we'll be reviewing Call of Cthulhu and The Dunwich Horror.

In Call of Cthulhu, we see Francis Wayland Thurston going through the notes of his dead uncle and other accounts of a mysterious cult that worships Cthulhu, a mysterious entity that dwells in the sunken corpse city of R'lyeh.

The Dunwich Horror is set in the Massachusetts village of Dunwich. Wilbur Whateley is the hideous son of Lavinia Whateley, a deformed and unstable albino and an unknown father. Strange events surround Wilbur's birth and precocious development.

I've decided to replace Starve Acre with this as I'd think reviewing Call of Cthulhu and The Dunwich Horror will be more interesting.
