A community to discuss Cosmic Horror in it's many forms; books, films, comics, art, TV, music, RPGs, video games etc.
"cosmic horror... is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock... themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries... the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale..."

Cosmic Horror @lemm.ee ᴇᴍᴘᴇʀᴏʀ 帝 @feddit.uk Absolute Green Lantern #1 review: Hal Jordan faces cosmic horror
www.superherohype.com Absolute Green Lantern #1 Review: Hal Jordan Faces Cosmic Horror - Comic Book Movies and Superhero Movie News - SuperHeroHypeThe first issue of Absolute Green Lantern is a work of existential alien horror rather than the franchise's usual epic space opera.
Al Ewing‘s script for Absolute Green Lantern #1 evokes the spirit of H.P. Lovecraft. There is more horror than awe to the weird power that seems to have chosen Hal Jordan. The general tone is far closer to a Junji Ito manga than E. E. “Doc” Smith’s space opera.
