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.

That makes sense though. The horror of cosmic horror is often too nebulous for many audiences and reviewers. I get why thatโ€™s not to everyoneโ€™s taste, but thatโ€™s also just a staple of the genre
