Click me and say good-bye to sanity.

Oooo fun...so it's a story about a creature who is almost mythological but could be real (in the book world) and is worshipped and is the source of our anxiety?

Sounds deep. The English major in me would love to dissect a story like this

Just read the original books by HP Lovecraft, Meggers. You know you want to.

I don't know if this has been posted already, but you guys who have Cthulhu tartan kilts need one of these for an accessory:

The Kraken Cane

Hey Meggers, you can read the Lovecraft tale that began the whole Cthulhu Cthing online, here:

For the record, Lovecraft himself, in various interviews through the years, has pronounced it differently, sometimes rather radically differently. The correct answer is that there is no correct pronunciation. I've personally always favored "kthooloo" with the "H" being a silent character from central casting.
