Seems like Lovecraft's entire thing really, though he mostly just seems concerned with how horrifying and unknowable things are. The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath is about descending into a dream world full of spooky priests and cities full of cats and people being encased alive in bridges as sacrifices.

Lovecraft haters are literally delusional redditor slanderers trying to smear a man who died in horrible suffering just so they can score good boy points. Prove me wrong.

>I know always that I am an outsider; a stranger in this century and among those who are still men.

Are their actually cults/religions based around this guys work? I always heard that there was. Or maybe I just got that from south park kek. Either way, it sounds like there easily could be. I imagine that if he existed in a different time, he could've started a religion. Like Homer.
