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.

It is a snapshot in time from a century ago when the work was being created. Hell, it might even provide some context for influences on his works. If nothing else it is a neat reminder that the process of writing involved a lot more than just sitting at a typewriter and banging out stories.

Ads in finished products suck for sure.
