This tag is applied to all about "Cthulhu Mythos" by H. P. Lovecraft and his works.
Lovecraft's guiding aesthetic and philosophical principle was what he termed "cosmicism" or "cosmic horror", the idea that life is incomprehensible to human minds and that the universe is fundamentally inimical to the interests of humankind. As such, his stories express a profound indifference to human beliefs and affairs.
His "Cthulhu Mythos" is well-known throughout the world. "Call of Cthulhu", a horror fiction role-playing game was named after his horror stories.
