I, Cthulhu

I, Cthulhu, or, What’s A Tentacle-Faced Thing Like Me Doing In A Sunken City Like This (Latitude 47° 9' S, Longitude 126° 43' W)? by Neil Gaiman. I, Cthulhu is a short humorous story by fantasy author Neil Gaiman featuring H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu, who is dictating an autobiography to a human slave named Whateley. The story reveals much about Cthulhu's birth and early life. Originally published by the short-lived Lovecraft fanzine Dagon in 1987, it was reprinted for free by Tor.com in December 2009. Since then, the website, as part of a general tradition celebrating Lovecraft's works over the holiday season, has reposted the story every December and it is also available for free on Gaiman's website, under a small sampler collection of his short fiction. This unofficial chapbook uses the Tor.com text and illustration with a cover from a French chapbook.
