Lovecraft Mythos - Cosmic Horror

689 readers

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.

Is it allowed to post original stories based on the myths? I like weird horror, and I like to put some reference to cosmic horror to my stories ๐Ÿ™

Sure, just use the tag [Fan-made] after the title of the post.
