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.

You’re out of their leagues.

Nonsense. He's only 20,000 leagues, or so, under the ocean. Which puts him in orbit? Maybe?

I would, but everytime I do it drives me crazy.

Nevertheless, they can't stop dreaming about him.
