Description
Even Cosmic Gods fear an unknown caller!
Voted winner for Best Graphic Novel at the 2024 Aurora Awards – Norm Konyu’s suspenseful story sees Cthulhu receive an unexpected midnight call that will change everything.
Part comic book, part artbook, part children’s storybook, A Call To Cthulhu is a fun, irreverent trip through the classic stories of HP Lovecraft, the influential horror writer, and a perfect introduction to his work for your little terrors! His stories and Cthulhu Mythos would inspire later writers such as Stephen King and Alan Moore, and today form the backbone of many movies, TV series, books, comics, and games.

Editorial Reviews
"In a sea of stories inspired by the works of Lovecraft, A CALL TO CTHULHU is a breath of fresh air, with a concept so clever and artwork so hypnotic that you'll swear it came from the cosmic gods themselves!" Daily Dead
"A Call to Cthulhu, a humorous and irreverent look at the Lovecraftian mythos that is part comic, part children's storybook, part poem, and completely absorbing." Rue Morgue
"Norm Konyu's take on the world of H.P. Lovecraft is a strikingly visual and quite funny affair." Bloody Flicks
"Celebrates the influence of Lovecraft’s vision with wit and a certain creepy energy while being very clear about the disturbing elements of his legacy." Broken Frontier
"Simply stupendous!" PopCult HQ
