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)
No AI “generated” content. To use AI to animate human artwork is fine but post the original and credit the artist.

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
