What is "Lovecraftian horror"?
Lovecraftian horror is a subgenre of horror fiction inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. This type of horror emphasizes the presence of ancient, cosmic entities beyond human understanding. It often involves themes of existential dread and the insignificance of humanity in the vast universe. The horror in this genre comes from the realization that there are powerful and harmful forces that exist outside human comprehension, leading to feelings of fear and helplessness. This type of horror usually avoids traditional monsters or supernatural creatures and instead focuses on the unsettling and unknown.
