How did you discover HP Lovecraft?
For me it was sitting around a table with my friends about 25 years ago. My buddy had tried Dungeons and Dragons and found an even more interesting game to play - The Call of Cthulhu. After finishing our first round that evening I was so fascinated I asked what it was all about. Another friend had a copy of Rats in the Walls and read it to us. I was so creeped out that when my mom came to pick me up the next day, we went to the bookstore and I immediately went and picked up a few different books. Good times. 😂 How’d you first discover the works of HP Lovecraft?

I was so young I don't remember, but given how young I was it probably wasn't his actual stories.
Music with Cosmic Horror Themes
Hello everyone! I was just wondering what songs/albums involving cosmic horror y’all enjoy listening to. Pictured is an assortment of records in my collection that either 1) serve as the OST to a CH or CH-adjacent film, 2) feature CH visual aesthetics, or 3) contain lyrics that delve into CH themes. I think another (unpictured) record that fits the bill is Jim Sullivan’s “U.F.O” (1969), which is a folk rock album that frequently references mysterious, disappearing towns and extraterrestrial visitors. “U.F.O.” is made all the stranger by the fact that Sullivan disappeared permanently one night in the New Mexican desert, without leaving behind so much as a trace.

For CH soundtracks, there's of course the Bloodborne OST, as well as some of the fan songs based off of it (A Thousand Eyes by Miracle of Sound, Summon the Choir by Aviators. Aviators also has the songs "Dreams of the Deep", "The Wall of Sleep", and "Can you Hear It?", which are directly based off of Lovecraft). As well as that, there's a song called "Unworthy" from the retro fps DUSK (highly recommend playing the games, by the way), as well as the ambient music made by an artist called Cryo Chamber. For metal, there's like four Metallica songs based off of the mythos (Those are "The Call of Ktulu", "The Thing That Should Not Be", "All Nightmare Long", and "Dream No More").The Vision Bleak is a band with a good chunk of CH themed metal, my personal favorite they made is "The Shining Trapezohedron". There's a few misc songs I dug up through an autogenerated Spotify playlist: The Dreaming City and Into the Deeps, both by a small band called Centregaze, In the Court of the Dragon by Trivium, The Silver Key by Dark Moor, and a band called Arkham Witch. Venturing into the goofier side of mythos themed music, there's "Cthulhu" by Grailknights, Fodder for the Elder Gods by 2000s-2010s goth band Creature Feature, if you've heard of them, there's Fate of the Stars by Tally Hall, and there's an entire Psychobilly band called The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets that makes mostly Mythos themed songs. There's probably a bit more, but that's all I could think of/find in my playlists. (Yes, I do listen to a lot of music lol)

Just a gal trying to survive this crazy world, and maybe meet some horrors along the way.
