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.

Excuse me, I think you underestimate the ability of my everyday life to drive me toward madness and death. I don't need an eldritch horror/god to help me with that.

Seems to have worked pretty well. That thin layer of sanity is long gone.

Still seems to be a better politician than the current bozos... Cthulhu for president!
