Lovecraft Mythos - Cosmic Horror

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.

The narrative that the title suggests as well as the second image gives me vibes of The Mist, albeit on the ocean specifically—which sounds really cool. Also the Eldritch Mermaid reminds me of Kos, for obvious reasons, who I think could also literally be described as an “Eldritch Mermaid”

Incredible art. The website has great short stories for them. Like, really short, but great.
