A community to discuss Cosmic Horror in it's many forms; books, films, comics, art, TV, music, RPGs, video games etc.

"cosmic horror... is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock... themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries... the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale..."

Featured in the DreadXP’s Indie Horror Showcase and coming December 2024 – A bizarre road trip buddy comedy meets Appalachian cosmic horror in this psychological horror story full of fear, heart, and strange sights.

After 3 years of development, Duonix Studios is excited to announce that their critically acclaimed 10 Dead Doves is launching on Steam this December. The exact release date will be announced soon, but fans of its unique "Dovecraftion" horror can already have a look at the new teaser trailer that was just featured in DreadXP’s Indie Horror Showcase today!

“One of the most ambitiously cinematic indie narratives I’ve seen in a while – it’s impossible to not be charmed by the back-and-forth between leads Mark and Sean.” ​- Rock Paper Shotgun

“It truly takes something wild, weird, or just plain spectacular, to remind you that actually, yes, horror can still surprise you. 10 Dead Doves is very much its own thing from the off.” ​- DreadXP

“10 Dead Doves (A+ name) makes a strong statement with its staggeringly strong production value, intriguing mystery, and polished gameplay. Simply put, 10 Dead Doves is not to be missed.” - Bloody Disgusting
