Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the early 20th century weird and horror story writer, H.P. Lovecraft's short story "The Call of Cthulhu", a classic work of cosmic horror and absolutely central to what will later come to be called the Cthulhu mythos.

It focuses specifically on the entities called the Great Old Ones, of which Cthulhu is one, and even has a role as their "priest". Many of the great old ones are within the sunken city of R'lyeh in a state neither alive nor dead, and communicate with sensitive humans through their dreams

It focuses specifically on what we learn of the cult of Cthulhu (and to a lesser extent) the other Great Old Ones, which according to the information provided by Castro, has existed among human beings from the start, spurred by communications in dreams from the Old Ones and the idols of them brought down from the stars. In the story, we learn of chapters of the cult existing in Greenland, Louisiana, the mountains of China, the south seas, the deserts of Arabia, and potentially other locations.

It focuses specifically on the images of the Great Old One Cthulhu that appear in the story. Some of these are bas-reliefs produced by human beings who have been communicated with by Cthulhu in their dreams. Others are statuary of unearthly stone brought down from the stars by the Old Ones whose location was revealed to the members of the cult

It focuses specifically on the dreams that the sculptor Henry Anthony Wilcox has, investigated by Professor Angell, which lead him to produce a bas-relief of Cthulhu, and culminate in a vision of a "mountain that walks". As it turns out, other sensitive souls also receive communications in their dreams from the Great Old Ones lying in their tombs in the city of R'lyeh

It focuses specifically on the narrative structure of this story, which is largely pieced together from necessarily secondhand accounts of dreams, police raids, encounters with cultists, and even meeting up with Cthulhu itself. We also look at the sources of information the narrator references in the story

This lecture discusses key ideas from the early 20th century weird and horror story writer, H.P. Lovecraft's short story "The Call of Cthulhu", a classic work of cosmic horror and absolutely central to what will later come to be called the Cthulhu mythos.

It focuses specifically on what he calls, in the first line of the story, "the most merciful thing", namely, "the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents." Lovecraft continues:

"We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."
