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.

I began reading Lovecraft and creating artwork based on his writings in high school. His stories have inspired me visually throughout my life and, particularly when the weather turns dismal or stormy, I find myself seeking out new fiction based on his work or reading again a favorite piece. Fortunately for me quite a few of the pieces that were painted solely for my own pleasure have been published.

“An ordinary Japanese high school student takes home an abandoned supernatural cat left in a cardboard box. Maybe he shouldn’t have meddled with kitties beyond human comprehension — after all, it had tentacles where its whiskers should have been!”

How Massachusetts inspired some of H.P. Lovecraft's scary stories | wgbh.org (Read/Audio)

H.P. Lovecraft, considered by many the father of modern horror fiction, is also very much a local legend. While the Rhode Island native famously said, “I am Providence,” Massachusetts also played a big part in his life and work. Of course, our state is home to the fictional Miskatonic River and the town of Arkham, which was appropriated by DC Comics as home of the asylum that housed the Joker, reaching a whole new level in popular culture. And that is really only scratching the surface of the surface. (...)

Worshippers of Cthulhu is a uniquely Lovecraftian city-builder where you build and manage your own island of cultists.
The narrative of Worshippers of Cthulhu draws heavily from the chilling cosmic horror of H.P. Lovecraft, the mastermind behind the infamous Lovecraft Mythos. At its core, the game revolves around building, managing, and nurturing your very own cult dedicated to the Great One, Dagon.
As you recruit new followers and initiate them into your cause, you’ll confront non-believers, explore dark and forbidden rituals, and navigate the day-to-day complexities of cult life—all in unwavering service to your eternal master.
