So, this is my second Lovecraftian video and I believe it's pretty interesting story around some real-life cults and die-hard believers in Cthulhu Mythos.

And there's no better place to share it but here!

Does anyone know if they ever released a shorts collection from the 2025 Lovecraft Film Festival? They're currently doing 2026, and they released 2024 into the past. I don't know if they said anywhere that they have plans to release 2025 or not. I'm trying to get the collection to catch up.

As it's spooky season I thought I would share a (very) short, interactive horror story I wrote, told through classified documents...

Heavily inspired by Lovecraft, David Hambling (The Elder Ice) and GHOSTWATCH, broadcast by the BBC in 1992 (IYKYK),

Enjoy!

A really weird one - very introspective - this is a short story named "Fear" by David R. Solomon.

The This City Press site that sold the comic online is gone. Is there any way at all to read it? Thank you.

I stumbled on MGM's FROM tv series, and right from episode one it has felt like something H.P. would have tuned in to watch had he lived long enough to experience television.

The premise, courtesy of Wikipedia:

The series is set in a nightmarish town in the United States that traps those who enter. The unwilling residents strive to remain alive while plagued by terrifying nocturnal creatures from the surrounding forest, as they search for secrets hidden within the town and beyond in the hope of finding a way out.

I didn't spot any direct references to H.P.'s work, but the narrative drips existential dread and fear of the unknown from the start, and then towards the end of season 3, a malevolent being appears: the man in the yellow suit. Technically that makes it a Robert Chambers reference, but it validates cosmic horror ties.

Is anyone else here watching? Did I miss any references? (possibly, since I watched 3 seasons in under a week)

For anyone interested: FROM seasons 1-3 are available on Netflix (US), seasons 1-4 available on MGM+, and season 5 is currently expected to air in April/May 2027)

I would go with Volrusk right now, his videos are good as hell.

Danchigrad is also doing some pretty good videos, mostly around slavic horror and weird lit, but he's also covering some obscure cosmic horror movies like Serbian "Enemy" 2011.

Wendigoon used to publish a lot of mythos videos back in the day, but his newer videos are different.

Shrouded Hand, Ghooligan, and Horrorbabble are also decent.

But I want more recommendations, as I'm building my own YT channel around cosmic horror(PallidPope), and I've been writing weird and cosmic fiction since I was 13, so I have a lot to say, just want to improve my editing and visuals, and learn what you guys actually like when you want some good cosmic scare or mythos on youtube.

Has anyone played the PC game Welcome to Elderfield? How does this game connect to Lovecraft? I’ve been reading on it but am unable to play it Bcs I have a Mac. What about this game screams lovecraft?

Hello. I'm looking for a short story that I read in the late '80s/early '90's that featured in an anthology of 'new' Cthulhu mythos writing (it isn't in the Ramsey Campbell one).

The story was set in the Pennines of Northern England and concerned a woman suffering from mental health problems eventually discovering the (usual) awful truth. The atmosphere was very claustrophobic and redolent of the damp moors and lowering skies of Yorkshire/Lancashire, even including a reference to Ribble buses (IYKYK).

I've searched my shelves and the internet but have so far drawn a blank. Does this jog anyone's memory? TIA

I just finished reading the nameless city and the ending really confused me so I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I’ve misinterpreted the final paragraphs?

1) In the penultimate paragraph, the narrator describes seeing the reptile creatures “outlined against the luminous aether of the abyss”, meaning that he is facing the abyss.

2) Previously, in the same paragraph, he says he hears their voices taking “articulate form behind [him]” before “turning” to face the abyss, meaning that the voices of the creatures are coming from within the abyss. The increasing clarity of the noises also seems to suggest the creatures are approaching him?

3) In the final paragraph, the brazen door shuts “behind the last of the creatures”, which means that they must have all exited the abyss and are in the dark corridor with him?

4) Despite this, he seems to survive the story, which doesn’t seem to make much sense, considering the painting of the same creatures tearing apart another human earlier in the story??

Has anyone ever found this adaptation? I heard it far back and I swear no other comes close to it but no matter how much I look around I can't see to find it. Any help would be good, since this is my own white whale.

So, this is my video about the origin of the King in Yellow, from its very beginning with Ambrose Bierce all the way to modern works like A Season in Carcosa.

I've also been writing weird fiction for half my life, so a channel like this has always been a dream of mine.

For context this is for AH 2nd edition by FFG, already out of print and now released as crowd fund as a remastered edition

It’s obvious that these two stories are similar thematically, but there was an interesting part in The Call of Cthulhu that I think was referencing the fate of Dagon’s narrator. Among the newspaper cuttings collected by Professor Angell, there is a clipping from London, England that stands out in particular:

The press cuttings, as I have intimated, touched on cases of panic, mania, and eccentricity during the given period. Professor Angell must have employed a cutting bureau, for the number of extracts was tremendous and the sources scattered throughout the globe. Here was a nocturnal suicide in London, where a lone sleeper had leaped from a window after a shocking cry.

In Dagon, the narrator was a WW1 officer whose boat had been captured by the Germans, which the narrator subsequently escaped. While the narrator’s nationality is never made explicit, it would be very possible—and even make the most sense—for him to have been English, thus I think it’s very much possible the narrator of Dagon (whose story ended by running towards the window in a state of panic) was the poor soul whom this particular clipping is speaking of.

I‘m wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this, or if there are more explicit connections between Dagon and Call of Cthulhu, aside from deities from these stories ultimately being worshipped by the Deep Ones in The Shadow Over Innsmouth.

To what degree do you think the Three Body Problem series is related to Lovecraft? In my opinion, there is some influence, with both the cosmic horror atmosphere, with a terrible secret about the universe revealed in The Dark Forest, and with the use of extra dimensions in the third novel, Death's End.

Four dimensional space reminded me of Lovecraft's story where a person exits their body and enters a four-dimensional space where they can see inside objects, and sees countless demons there.

So I finished reading all Lovecraft stories and collaborations, so now I'm wondering what to read next.

I thought about reading Clark Ashton Smith's Hyperborean Cycle since he seemed somewhat involved with Lovecraft.

Humanity discovers mysterious, eerie monoliths that predate humanity and point to a super-human intelligence. A human makes contact with the things and is teleported to a world that the human mind appears unable to understand, but there are indications that it has something to do with time being only another dimension.

There is heavy emphasis on the lonely vastness and terrifying grandeur of space, the smallness of humanity, and humanity's evolution from apes.

I am not aware of any evidence that Kubrick was influenced by Lovecraft or was even aware of him. However, the two men happened to have somewhat similar outlooks in some ways. Both seemed to enjoy undercutting humanity's sense of self importance. Both were interested in science. Both rejected traditional religions, although Lovecraft perhaps went further in being a more strict materialist.

I liked Joseph Curwen in The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, specifically the farm and shipping operation, how he operated in secrecy, used magic to gain power and resources while trying to stay hidden, the dungeons, and the historical period. I liked this kind of a grind, enterprise nature. Is there something similar?

Acclaimed horror artist Nick O’Gorman returns with his EIGHTH annual Lovecraft adaptation, a 24-page psychedelic ascension into the unknown.

Based on H.P. Lovecraft’s haunting tale “The Strange High House in the Mist,” this latest adaptation takes us to the rocky cliffs and craigy shores of Kingsport, where a strange, stunted house sits precariously atop the highest craig, shrouded in mist and seemingly untouched by the passage of time.

I understand and can infer most of it, but there’s still one thing I can’t find an answer to. In the end, Akeley became the brain inside the jar. I don’t quite grasp how Wilmarth was deceived by the creatures.

My question concerns what exactly the Akeley sitting in the chair was. If it was merely his hands and face arranged to deceive Wilmarth, was Akeley speaking from inside the device? But if so, how did Wilmarth fail to notice that the voice coming from the other jar was the same as Akeley’s (given that the voices of those in the jars always remain the same)? And if it wasn’t Akeley’s own hands and face, was it one of the creatures in disguise? Furthermore, I don’t understand how that "thing" could have moved—it is described as pointing and making gestures with the heads—if it were just a ruse involving Akeley’s body parts.
