I read all of short story "The Call of Cthulhu" (fictional) by H. P. Lovecraft. Read it at the following link (not that long); or listen to an audible reading of it and focus while listening:

It certainly has some interesting parts and is a good intro to the Cthulhu mythos, but I've heard that other stories by Lovecraft are better (probably true). It's about cosmic horror, and the realization of how the universe is horrifying and terrible on a cosmic scale (which says something about the supernatural or metaphysical). Interesting quotes:
>“Of such great powers or beings there may be conceivably a survival . . . a survival of a hugely remote period when . . . consciousness was manifested, perhaps, in shapes and forms long since withdrawn before the tide of advancing humanity . . . forms of which poetry and legend alone have caught a flying memory and called them gods, monsters, mythical beings of all sorts and kinds. . . .” —Algernon Blackwood.
>The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. 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.

I hate this site. At least don't trust it. The tranny-run Internet Archive deleted more than 1500 items (uploads), including important and rare data.
