The Call of Cthulhu. Level 2

Howard Phillips Lovecraft is a famous master of horror. Little-known during his lifetime, he had a significant impact on the culture of the late 20th century. It was his works that inspired artist Hans Rudi Giger and the film Alien. The original text was adapted by Sergey Alexandrovich Matveev – an author of teaching materials with many years of experience. The book includes The Call of Cthulhu and At the Mountains of Madness, the two most famous stories by Lovecraft. Both are based on the element of cosmic horror – the encounter with the indescribable and unknowable. H. P. Lovecraft skillfully combines science fiction with horror in these tales, opening the door to a vast, dark universe filled with unimaginable worlds and beings. This book will help immerse the reader in a world of horror, seeping with green slime and flooded with the terrifying presence of Cthulhu. The rich and complex literary language of H. P. Lovecraft has become noticeably more accessible thanks to the adaptation. The book is printed on pleasantly tinted paper. The text is adapted for English language learners level 2 – Pre-Intermediate. The book contains a dictionary, detailed comments, and exercises for checking comprehension of the text.
