I have red some of Lovecrafts books such, The Call of Cthulhu ,The Necronomicon and Nyarlatoteph.
It explores the idea that we humans are but insignificant compared to these beings that are beyond our comprehension. We are no the supreme beings in the universe and that we like bacteria to them as bacteria is to us.
Are you a fan of Lovecraft?
Do you like the genre that is Cosmic Horror?

Yes, H.P. Lovecraft was a classic horror story writer. His writings have affected modern day fiction

There was another person at a different site who really enjoyed writing summaries and reviews of H. P. Lovecraft. They do sound interesting. I didn't know the genre was called "Cosmic Horror". Learned something new.

At his time it was simply called horror but with his unique style of writing he practically created a new genre where instead of monsters and demons we face things beyond our own feeble comprehensions.
