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.

Well yes. But there's also a "You can't escape the madness" rule, so it makes sense you eventually end up loving England.

The name of his cat says it all

Not quite… but it is a family name. His cat was named after his father’s cat.

...a family tradition indeed.

As an English person this is highly unfair - we're not all christians.

As a not english perspn id say the horrible religion in England isnt only christianity, but more a mix of imperialism, monarchism, and a rigid caste/class system. Like how american exceptionalism and unfettered capitalism is for the US.

Well, yeah, but anyone from bhangbhangduc would say that.
