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.

Michael Whelan’s longcover for At the Mountains of Madness, commissioned by Centipede Press for the classic horror novel by H.P. Lovecraft.

Whelan's artwork has been featured on numerous covers of Lovecraft's reissued works, particularly through Del Rey Books. His paintings for LOVECRAFT'S NIGHTMARE were instrumental in revitalizing interest in Lovecraft’s stories during the 1980s and have since become iconic within both literary and music circles, even appearing on heavy metal album covers
