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.

Yeah....
And the chaos causing Lovecraft's overwhelming sense of dread was black people moving into his New England neighborhood lol
Kind of a lesson on its own... Like look how exhaustively terrifying it can be to be bigoted. I mean, it must be, right?
But unironically, I can see how it makes inroads toward white supremacy. They're being ground down the weight of inescapable change that they aren't keep apace with when someone comes and says "hating this group will fix it".
They're the crazy person who "knows" Nyarlathotep is coming...unless they manage to kill all the cats.
Also the fact that he might be Welsh.
Cthulhu is just the name of his aunt
