What is Lovecraft Horror?
Lovecraft horror was first brought to life by H.P. Lovecraft, an iconic horror writer that was responsible for giving the world a new vision of horror. Lovecraft horror is mostly seen as cosmic horror, or the fear of the unknown. This kind of horror focuses on mankind going insane upon witnessing the most messed up horror imaginable, either consisting of monsters or other worlds that the human race does not belong.
