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.

This is close, but can you make it less Euclidian?

Would you go as far as to say.....non-euclidean?

It's like math, but with ghosts. Poorly constructed corners and whatnot.

I like my horror like I like my math....Euclidean.
