Lovecraft Mythos - Cosmic Horror
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.
Rules:
- Please NO "Call of Cthulhu RPG" content (there are other great groups)
- PLEASE ONLY MYTHOS-INSPIRED CONTENTS
- Share stories, books, authors and any other works from the mythos
- Share reviews, analysis and theories on the lore
- Share videos, images and contents inspired by the lore
- Where possible share the link to the authors or the sources
- Ignore the call in your dreams as long as possible

This was one of his first stories (when read in chronological order) that really swept me up. I think about it quite often, actually.
Still love how one of the random lines you can hear NPCs make in the Call of Cthulhu video game is "The rats... The rats in the walls! Ahhhhhhhhh!"
