“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)?”

short story
By Neil Gaiman

Synopsis

Cthulhu dictates its memiors to a human.

History

First publication: Dagon #16, January 1987

Review

This is, of course, a comedy. The idea of Cthulhu sitting down with a writer and telling its memoirs is pretty absurd. Gaiman pulls it off pretty well with a lot of funny lines. Not a great story but a nice little story.
