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 never thought of it before, but, how exactly the Outer gods would see us? Are we repelling for them? Was Cthulhu actually trying to get rid of pests infesting his house?
I mean Yog-Sothoth doesn't exactly count as a god, it is actually far beyond that, more like the multiverse in one being (like Eternity from Marvel). Regarding the deep one, they are basically horny fishmen not too far beyond human. What i'm talking about is, how the Outer Gods actually see us?
The Genocides by Thomas M. Disch is a good little read that i would recommend to anyone interested in this sort of idea
just scifi tho, not explicitly lovecraftian
