It never really grabbed me, he keeps telling us how terrible and horrible and hideous things are, and it's just... boring. I'm glad it was short. I guess I maybe could enjoy it as a piece of kitch
I felt the same way when I read it for the first time.

But then, I started reading other Lovecraft stories, some of them are interconnected, so building the Cthulhu Mythos. After all, I became a fan of Lovecraft. "The Call of Cthulhu" alone really have nothing in special.
