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..."

I want to be a monolith.
All tomorrows flesh cube:
I'm thinking more of a cyborg solarpunk kind-of-thing, but I know it doesn't really jive with this community so can't we meet half-way and go for something that fits more in a Tales from the Loop/The Electric State (artbook versions) universe?
I mean at least I wouldn't have neck pain in the Flesh Cube, but that's way too many entities for me and I still want to use a computer and maybe sauté vegetables.

I have this book!
Do Not Taunt Monolith
When not in use, Monolith should be returned to its special container and kept under refrigeration. Failure to do so relieves the makers of Monolith—Wacky Products Incorporated and its parent company, GlobalChemical Unlimited—of any and all liability.
Monolith May Stick to Certain Types of Skin
I was worried it was from space but then they assured me it wasn't
We thank you, oh Monolith, for revealing the cunning plans of your enemies to us.. May your light shine down on the souls of the brave soldiers who gave their lives in service to your will.. Onward warriors of the Monolith! Avenge your fallen brothers, blessed as they are in their eternal union with the Monolith!
