Lovecraft Mythos - Cosmic Horror
667 readers
14 users here now
H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

MODERATORS
Man, Cthulhu has lived in the murky depths of the ocean for TENS OF MILLIONS of years now, and people still comment on where it's from originally. /s
Earth is technically in space tho
So... are we the aliens? ๐คฏ
Humans are the true cosmic horror.
Maybe Cthulhu wants to kill us all because we make it's brain hurt to look at.
I think that part is referring to humans.
