Just finished Call of Chtulhu. I love how Lovecraft brings all three parts of the story together, from Wilcox meeting Prof. Angell, to Lagresse showing the sculpture of Cthulhu at the meeting and it all goes back to narrator. Very nicely woven. But there's one thing I don't understand.
The island of R'lyeh rises up because the stars are right. But Cthulhu himself emerges simply because the sailors stumble across the island, yes? It could have been anybody who was there, but preferably, Cthulhu worshipers?
