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.

#Horror, #Cosmic Horror, #science fiction,
I'm definitely going to check this out.
To add to the recommendation. The first season of "the terror" is amazing.
Each season is a unique story. Season one is based off real life events where the British navy attempted to sail through the north pole. Or something like that.
And there is this ominous vibe through the whole thing with this small horrors that stack up.
And I don't want to spoil anything so I'm not going to say more. But. Wow. It was very good.
Trailer
3rd season of The Terror is airing right now! So far 2 episodes in.
Any good? I dropped out of season 2 but loved season 1. Itβs strange as the concept of season 2 was much more appealing.
I think season 2 dragged a bit in the middle but I remember liking how it wrapped up.
It's actually based on a book by Dan Simmons and it's hands down one of my favorite horror books. Such a great setting and fascinating history.
Can you give me a title? I've checked and there's no mention to any book titled The Rig written by Dan Simmons. The wiki page of the series also said created by David Macpherson, with no mention to any of the Simmons works.
Apologies, I was talking about 'The Terror' by Dan Simmons. It's a separate show that OP was talking about.

Thank you, i'll check that tooπ
Okay now I have to read the book too. I didnt know. Thanks for the info
I'd never heard of this but that sounds groovy.
Can anyone else confirm this lives up to this delicious hype?
I enjoyed the first season a lot. The second just sorta ehh, first season felt complete second felt forced.
Oh cool, so you could watch the first season and dip?
That is my opinion on it for sure, but I'm not going to stop anyone from giving season 2 a try anyway.
One more for my checklist π
