Adventures of Lil' Cthulhu

Monday November 9, 2009

In the 1920s, author H.P. Lovecraft created what is commonly known as the Cthulhu mythos through a series of occult stories dealing with fictional dark elder gods and the horrible things that happen when mortals attempt to access them.

These stories have significantly influenced pulp fiction perception of occult horror, and their content has fueled multiple hoaxes. The most famous is the Necronomicon, a book Lovecraft invented but which was subsequently written and published by multiple other authors ans sometimes referenced by anti-occultists. (the most recent Necronomicon foray can be found here, published by a 27-year-old who boasts having studied the occult for 15 years. Yes, do the math on that one.)

On the lighter side of things, I now bring you Adventures of Lil' Cthulhu, just to prove that anything can have a cute and humorous side on the Internet.

What, did you expect me to always be serious?
