«Cthulhu kutse» sisaldab 20. sajandi ameerika tähtsaima ja olulisel määral kogu maailma kultuuriteadvust mõjutanud õuduskirjaniku H. P. Lovecrafti (1890–1937) lühiproosa paremikku, mille on välja valinud, põhjalikult kommenteerinud ja järelsõnaga varustanud ulmekirjanduse asjatundja Raul Sulbi. Kogumikust leiab juba varem eesti keeles ilmunud tekste kui ka esmakordselt meie lugejateni jõudvaid palasid. Üleloomuliku kirjanduse austaja jaoks on nende kaante vahel käepäraselt koos kõik olulisemad kirjaniku novellid, jutustused ja lühiromaanid.
Lovecrafti loodud Cthulhu-mütoloogia oma veidrate jumaluste ja maaväliste olevustega nagu Dagon, Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth ning õudustäratavate tegevuskohtadega Uus-Inglismaa kolkakülades ja allakäinud kalahaisulistes sadamalinnades nagu Dunwich või Innsmouth on kindlasti üks moodsa õuduskirjanduse tugisambaid, millele on rajanud omakorda uusi kihistusi Robert Bloch, Ramsey Campbell, Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, Henry Kuttner, Brian Lumley, Terry Pratchett, Charles Stross ja paljud teised kirjanikud.
H. P. Lovecrafti kummastava pärandi kultuurilooline tähtsus on viimastel kümnenditel üha kasvanud ja ulatub kaugele üle žanrikirjanduse piiride ning on ajendanud rohkelt tõsiseltvõetavaid akadeemilisi analüüse ja tõlgendusi. Tema loomingu mõjudest pole puutumata jäänud vist ükski popkultuuri valdkond, olgu tegu siis heavy metali või gurmeekokandusega.
