To be clear: I am in no way suggesting that IKEA may pose an existential threat to the fabric of reality https://www.davideriknelson.com/sbsb/index.php/2025/05/to-be-clear-i-am-in-no-way-suggesting-that-ikea-may-pose-an-existential-threat-to-the-fabric-of-reality/ #CosmicHorror #EldritchHorror #FreeFiction #FreeReads #HorrorReads #newsF #SciFi #scifi #SF

This free brochure (28 pages)contains inspiration drawn from the beliefs of peoples who actually inhabit the Earth now or in the past, or from facts taken straight from history or science. Each case includes the suggestion, how given beliefs or facts can be interpreted in the spirit of cosmic horror, emphasizing their appropriate elements or bending them slightly. Sometimes the descriptions are quite brief – a detailed discussion of each topic would take a lot of space and time. These are rather teasers intended to show why a specific thing may be interesting for fans of eldritch vibes and possibly encourage them to take a closer look at the topic.
The article is intended primarily for Game Masters who play games in systems inspired by Lovecraft’s works, such as Call of Cthulhu or Delta Green. However, I hope that other fans of cosmic horror will also find something for themselves here. The interesting facts presented here may also be interesting for people who are not familiar with the work of The Loner of Providence, but some of the references may be unclear to them.

itch.ioNext is "Cosmic Horror at the Strip Mall Parking Lot." It's about a guy who takes a bunch of acid, realized he needs a lighter and heads out to the convenience store hoping to get it before the drugs kick in... instead, as he walks up, he's assailed by a cosmic horror unfurling its eldritch tendrils in the parking lot, among the cigarette butts and discarded scratch-offs -- a situation we've all experienced too often!

:EA DATA. SF: @jrdepriest@infosec.exchangeSince there has been a huge influx of new users, I decided to write a new #Introduction and actually pin it to my profile.
I'm pushing 50 years old and I live in a Red State that is trying to make me illegal. I'm a #pansexual / #bisexual #transgender woman married to a heterosexual cisgender woman who frequently talks about the current hellscape for people like me in my Toots.
I'm #NeuroDivergent / #ND which is probably why all of these sentences start with "I".
I've worked in #InfoSec for a little over 20 years. I've had lots of roles in #SecEng, #SecOps, and #ThreatManagement. I taught myself #Perl, #Bash, #SQL, and #PowerShell. I'm decent at #JavaScript. I can read #Python and #Ruby. I enjoy automating things and turning manual processes into scripts.
I've been the primary #CareGiver to my wife for 8 years since she developed a chronic condition and went on disability.
My hobbies including #writing #paranormal short fiction, journaling my #dreams, and playing #PCGames on my laptop and #SteamDeck.
I prefer #StarGate over #StarTrek over #StarWars. Still waiting for Amazon to do something, anything with the Stargate property.
While we loved the #ArrowVerse including #Stargirl and #SwampThing, in general we prefer #Marvel over #DC.
I'm a fan of #Horror / #HorrorFam, #HorrorMovies and #HorrorBooks, especially the existential dread of #CosmicHorror or #LovecraftianHorror. I tend to sympathize with the nameless terrors. I am not a fan of mindless slashers, unrelenting gore, or torture porn. Over-the-top, egregious gore that crosses into the absurd is fine, though, so I am a Sam Raimi fan, obvs. Also, #HorrorComedies are underappreciated.
I'm slowly reconnecting with my #Pagan roots. I knew some stuff about #Tarot and had a friend who as a tree a lifetime ago and I'm trying to rekindle that.
We've got #Cats and they are our kids. I also happen to love #Frogs, but we don't have any of those.

Reposting my #introduction after the move: I live in #Wellington #Nz aka #Aotearoa. I'm a #BusinessAnalyst. I'm a #PublicServant.
In my sparerine I'm a #writer who #writes #shortstories, usually #ScienceFiction, #Fantasy, #Horror. I especially love #CosmicHorror, #WeirdFiction, and #SpaceOperas.
I'm working on my 1st #novel but writing comes second to #parenting
I love #DoctorWho, #StarTrek, & #superheroes and #documentaries
I'm a #leftist though still figuring out exactly what type
@stina_marie@horrorhub.clubOh, whoops, we're supposed to do an #introduction?!
Um, ok. Belated intro 
I love #books, #movies, #art, #podcasts & #music w a proclivity for #horror & the #weird / #eerie. I write #reviews & make #spooky & not-so-spooky art. I'm #autistic & wildly verbose about things that enthuse me but simultaneously #introverted generally. I am fascinated by the #odd, love #cosmichorror, #folkhorror & #hauntedhouses. I play #piano. I share things that I think are awesome. Is this enough?
I'm one of the people that have been looking around for a Twitter alternative and a place to connect with fellow creatives. Finally decided to dive into Mastodon, here's a little #introduction :
I am a #writer and #artist currently working on the first book in a series for a world I've had in my head since 2009, inspired by the great Hideyuki Kikuchi's Vampire Hunter D series. There are #monsters, #scifi weaponry, #Interdimensional elements and #cosmichorror with the fate of humanity at stake.
