Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,591 March 6, 2015 Share March 6, 2015 Would the Conan the Barbarian stories count? I've read that they are part of the Cthulhu Mythos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,301 March 6, 2015 Share March 6, 2015 This topic makes my pulpy, gelatinous, hideously tentacle-wrapped heart happeh. x ) I've read plenty of H.P. Lovecraft. Including (but by no means limited to): At the Mountains of Madness, The Whisperer in Darkness, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, The Thing on the Doorstep, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, The Dunwich Horror, The Rats in the Walls, The Call of Cthulhu, and The Haunter of the Dark. I've written several stories that are Lovecraft-inspired; in the vein of the "weird tale." I've also drawn Cthulhu, Mi-Go, Elder Things, Shoggoth, and Dagon: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,301 March 7, 2015 Share March 7, 2015 Awesome. maybe I could read some of your stories I think you're far better off reading a Lovecraft story you haven't read or re-reading one that you have. x ) But this is one of my more decent-ish Lovecraftian stories: The Black Ravine. I didn't borrow any of Lovecraft's creations or namedrop "Cthulhu" or anything, but his works inspired me to write stories like these. They continue to inspire me, really. My dA user name is even plucked directly from "The Lurking Fear." x3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenorSounds 831 March 7, 2015 Share March 7, 2015 I love the Cthulhu mythos. Eldritch Horror gets a lot of playtime at my Saturday board-game meetups. One great Lovecraftian-esque PC game I've been really liking lately is one called "Darkest Dungeon", it's narrated by Wayne June who does some of my favorite audio-book renditions of Lovecraft's work.

SCS 7,483 March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 I am indeed interested in the Cthulhu mythos, and H.P. Lovecraft's work in general. I've read some of his short stories and seen a few film adaptations of his work. My favorite story by him that I've read is probably The Outsider. Funnily enough, I think I actually first learned about the Cthulhu mythos from South Park back when I was a younger teen. I ended up learning more about it from a good friend of mine IRL. What fascinates me the most about the Cthulhu shit is the more abstract side of it, such as people seeing things that are so complex it drives them insane. The octopus things are only thin, superficial representations of what one was actually seeing. This general idea serves as at least a partial foundation for a lot of the more modern shit I enjoy, such as House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski or the SCP Foundation universe.

JonasDarkmane 19,780 March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 (edited) I'm pretty interested. I would like to read Lovecraft's work. Have you ever heard about the Bloop? Some people believe it was actually Cthulhu that caused the sound since it was heard not far away from where the city of R'lyeh was supposed to have been. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop just listen to the sound file Edited March 17, 2015 by JonasDarkmane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
