Lovecraftian Tropes

That is not dead which can eternal vex,

And with strange aeons even death may index.

Tropes created and developed in relation and/or reference to the works of H. P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos; most are broadly applicable to other Cosmic Horror Stories.

Compare That Which Must Not Be Indexed.
