Well, he's supposedly sleeping on a sunken island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. I could be mistaken about said island's location, though, since I've not read any Lovecraft in for-friggin'-ever. *shrugs*

What about the Great Barrier Reef? That has sunken atolls all over it. Cthulhu would love it, sit back enjoy the sun and snack on the odd snorkeler-tourist. Life is good!

Longitude 126° 43' come upon a coast-line of mingled mud, ooze, and weedy Cyclopean masonry which can be nothing less than the tangible substance of earth’s supreme terror—the nightmare corpse-city of R’lyeh,..."

Particularly Poignant Purple Impassioned Prose. If you have a predilection towards perceiving that proportionately pretenseless prose as purple, this prohibitively pompous post will probably prevail in perturbing you.  |

That paragraph isn't so bad, but most of Call of Cthulhu reads as Thesaurus: The Short Story.
