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?
