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.

You got a bit of Giger in your Lovecraft

I feel like that results in something that's more silly than horror. It's checking off geek horror checkboxes, so instead of being alien or inhuman (or at least recalling the mostly cohesive universes of each) it becomes anchored in pop culture.

I love it. I would totally get a bronze cane knob cast to fit my cane looking like that if he sold them for reasonable prices.
