Though not specific to the Cthulhu Mythos, The Lovecraft Investigations is highly recommended to any lovers of Lovecraft. It's a spoof true crime podcast set in the present day and the plots are based on classic Lovecraft stories.

As it's BBC, I'm guessing it may be geolocked, but for anyone who can access BBC Sounds the previous three seasons are available and a new one is about to start soon.^___^

Link - From the nihilistic absurdity of Thomas Ligotti to the heavily science-fictional chills of Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation, the cosmic horror of today continues to tell tales of a vast, indifferent, and even carnivorous cosmos, through new lenses and fresh new perspectives.

Here are a few of the best cosmic horror books from exciting writers new and old—both those who were writing before Lovecraft appeared on the scene, and those who have come after.

Soedesco is adding to the horrors of Halloween on Switch as it's announced a 27th October release date for Superlumen's Lovecraftian point-and-click Desolatium.

Originally announced back in June 2023, Desolatium is a surreal, psychological graphic adventure where you'll come face-to-face with many of Lovecraft's iconic creatures — many of which "defy conventional description".

Short film adapted from Lin Carter's poem "The King In Tatters", set in the mythic world of Carcosa, where Hastur is the King In Yellow.

SHORT by The Lone Animator YT channel

LINK - Invidious

From the sonnet cycle "Fungi From Yuggoth."

XIV. Star-Winds

It is a certain hour of twilight glooms, Mostly in autumn, when the star-wind pours Down hilltop streets, deserted out-of-doors, But shewing early lamplight from snug rooms. The dead leaves rush in strange, fantastic twists, And chimney-smoke whirls round with alien grace, Heeding geometries of outer space, While Fomalhaut peers in through southward mists.

This is the hour when moonstruck poets know What fungi sprout in Yuggoth, and what scents And tints of flowers fill Nithon’s continents, Such as in no poor earthly garden blow. Yet for each dream these winds to us convey, A dozen more of ours they sweep away!

The Short - The Man from the Sea is the first release from our anthologies of short horror stories.

Written and directed by: Foghorn Prd.

The Lone Animator create Stop-motion fantasy and monster movies based on author works, myth and folklore

HERE - You can find Memory by H P Lovecraft.

I suggest you to also watch the other videos of the channel, he's a true artist who put a lot of love into his works.

Cthulhumaniacs.com - These writers, while drawing inspiration from Lovecraft's foundational work, bring their unique perspectives and sensibilities to the genre.

Created in 1928, the mythos of Cthulhu is still a relevant and wildly popular part of pop culture and horror to this day.

VIDEO about the actual powerscale of Azathoth as it is protracted in the original lore. And why the whole "dreaming the universe" idea isn't actually Canon.

A chronicle of the life, work and mind that created the Cthulhu mythos.

I love that blend of energy that H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard shared. When a warrior faces the sheer terror of the Lovecraftian universe, and wins or loses, we get a kind of frisson that dusty old antiquarians just can’t provide.

The phrase “cosmic horror” conjures up images of massive tentacled beasts that defy all aspects of human understanding. Monsters created by author H.P.
