^_^ It is a mythology... just not an ancient one.
Lovecraft made his own mythology, and it went viral through his stories long before the internet was even thought of, before "going viral" was even a thing. The Cthulu mythos spread to the point there were rare book dealers (legitimate businessmen) trying to find a copy of the Necronomicon (a book of occult lore that Lovecraft also made up as part of his mythology, and "quoted" in several stories) without realizing it had never existed.Β

Depends a bit on what you like. It's creepy, "classic" horror (mostly short stories and novelettes). So, if you like that genre at all, you'll probably enjoy it. No graphically detailed bloody scenes of debauchery and dismemberment, no deep psychological dissections of motives (1920s, remember) ... a lot of them are sort of like journals of discovery as the protagonist gradually comes to the realization that behind what we see as reality lies this indescribable horror waiting to manifest itself in the waking world. Like say, if you like creepy stories at all, you'll probably enjoy these. Worth checking out at least one story. The link someone else posted takes you to a short-ish story that sort of introduces Cthulu. (Lovecraft wrote a LOT of non-Cthulu stories, but they are less well known.)

The end is here. And no cross or holy water will stop it. (Church buildings may delay some of it, if they have thick walls.)

Great picture.

EDIT: My only criticism: You could have taken a image that is marked as stock by the creator, instead of a random image with unknown license. There are plenty free stock images around.

So this is where it came from...When I first saw it, I didn't even think it was a photo manipulation. I had thought it was an actual photo someone caught of a multi-vortex tornado coming over a hill that just happened to look like Cthulhu. Anyways, nice work! :3

Unfortunate as someone stole your work, posted it on Facebook stating it was a photo they took during a tornado outbreak in Oklahoma a couple of days back. Maybe you should watermark. Sorry I could not find the name of who did it. It was too far back in myΒ  global history.
