A community to discuss Cosmic Horror in it’s many forms; books, films, comics, art, TV, music, RPGs, video games etc. “cosmic horror… is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock… themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries… the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale…” - Wikipedia For more Lovecraft & Mythos-inspired Cosmic Horror:-!lovecraft_mythos@lemmy.world [/c/lovecraft_mythos@lemmy.world]

        Being ridiculous lol funny shit, parody stuff, we also have serious discussions too and we are not extremely political. We’re pretty neutral.

        We’ve got a horror community to if you’re interested

        !horror@hilariouschaos.com

          Sounds cool! Might make an account on it if I find alot of cool communities I like.

          Would be good to be in a neutral space, things can get heated sometimes over here.

          Thanks for the informative reply!

            Here’s all of our communities. Red dots signify they are political, red question marks indicate possibly being political based on users posts. Or your determination.

            Hope that helps and we’d love to have u !

      Yes, I’m a member there. It was during a discussion with the creator of that group that we decided to start this one, as he wants to keep it more Lovecraft mythos orientated without the more general cosmic horror.

        Ah! In that case, subbing now.

        And unsubbing from Lovecraft, honestly, because Lemmy’s not big enough to divide the topic up like that.
