Abstract:

Religion suffuses H.P. Lovecraft’s (1890–1937) short stories—the most famous of which, “The Call of Cthulhu,” has led to a literary subculture and a shared mythos employed by Lovecraft’s successors. Despite this presence of religion in Lovecraft’s work, scholars of religion have paid relatively little attention to Lovecraft and the Cthulhu mythos, with a few notable exceptions. This article offers a close analysis of millennialism within Lovecraft’s thought, especially as expressed in three of his “Cthulhu mythos” stories: “The Call of Cthulhu,” “The Dunwich Horror,” and “The Shadow over Innsmouth.” This article considers Lovecraft’s formative experiences and non-fiction writings so as to contextualize his approach and millennial outlook. Tied to his nativist views of social decline, I argue that Lovecraft expresses in his fiction a peculiar form of millennialism, “anti-millennialism,” which entails the reversal of traditional millennialism, offering no hope in a collective salvation, but rather expectation that the imminent future would bring only decline.

Abstract:

Margaret Murray (1863–1963) was a major figure in the creation of professional archaeology, president of the Folklore Society, and advocate for women’s rights. Her popular legacy today is the concept of the “witch-cult,” a hidden ancient religion persecuted as witchcraft. Murray’s witch-cult not only inspired Neopaganism but is foundational for author H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos. These modern myths cast a long shadow on not only fantastical literature but on paranormal beliefs, preserving outdated elements of Victorian archaeology in popular culture concerned with alternative archaeology and the occult.

Abstract:

H.P. Lovecraft crafted an intricate mythos which initially did not find success until after his death, and his works, most notably “The Call of Cthulhu” (1928), were regarded to be a landmark towards the relevancy of occultism both in the field of literature and religious belief. The short story was regarded to be the staple of “cosmic horror” which Lovecraft applied to almost all of his stories. The paper analyze how “The Call of Cthulhu” influenced the belief of modern occultism, which can be inferred from the literary elements in the story. Further analysis will also identify how Lovecraft portrayed the subgenre “cosmic horror” to enhance the elements of occultism within the short story. In relation to the previous elements, the paper examine how a particular cult, Typhonian Order, was influenced by the elements of occultism used in the story.

Abstract:

What happens when we imagine the unimaginable? This article compares recent films inspired by H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos with that author’s original early 20th century pulp horror stories. In Guillermo del Toro’s films Pacific Rim and Hellboy, monsters that would have been obscured to protect Lovecraft’s readers are now fully revealed for Hollywood audiences. Using the period-appropriate theories of Rudolf Otto on the numinous and Sigmund Freud on the uncanny, that share Lovecraft’s troubled history with racist othering, I show how modern adaptations of Lovecraft’s work invert central features of the mythos in order to turn tragedies into triumphs. The genres of Science Fiction and Horror have deep commitments to the theme of otherness, but in Lovecraft’s works otherness is insurmountable. Today, Hollywood borrows the tropes of Lovecraftian horror but relies on bridging the gap between humanity and its monstrous others to reveal a higher humanity forged through difference and diversity. This suggests that otherness in modern science fiction is a means of reconciliation, a way for the monsters to be defeated rather than the source of terror as they were in Lovecraft’s stories.

Abstract:

Horror genre is defined as speculative fiction which is intended to frighten, scare, disgust, or startle its readers by including feelings of horror and terror. Stephen King is considered as one of the foremost writers of Horror fiction. H.P. Lovecraft is an American writer wrote many horror stories. He invented an pseudo-mythology known as the Cthulhu Mythos which focuses on a pantheon of Monstrous deities which inhabits worlds which are not our own. After Lovecraft, many writers tried to imitate his style. But only few got success. One such writer is Stephen King. He closely followed the style of Lovecraft and produced some of the best fictions in the genre of Horror.

P. Lovecraft é a Ciência, que é representada de maneira verossímil frente à realidade empírica do momento histórico do autor. A Ciência, em diversos momentos, se torna a responsável por mover a trama, possibilitar as ações e justificar as descobertas extraordinárias dos personagens. Sua análise, portanto, permite um enriquecimento da discussão a respeito da obra do autor de modo geral. Realizando uma análise das implicações da Ciência dentro das tramas, a partir de questões espaciais e filosóficas, pretendemos contribuir para uma compreensão mais ampla do seu papel na obra de Lovecraft. Além das análises, buscamos delinear o perfil da crítica que o autor realiza à Ciência, e de que maneira ela é construída por meio de seus contos e novelas agrupados no conjunto conhecido como Cthulhu Mythos.<br>One of the key elements in H. P. Lovecraft‘s work is Science, which is represented in a verisimilar way to the empirical reality of the author‘s historic moment. Science is for several times the responsible for moving the plot, making the characters‘ actions possible and justifying their extraordinary discoveries. Therefore, its analysis allows an enrichment of the discussion regarding the author‘s work in a general way. Analyzing the implications of Science inside the plots as from spatial and philosophical matters, we intend to contribute with a broader comprehension of its role inside Lovecraft‘s work. Besides the analyses, we aim at outlining the profile of the criticisms the author makes to Science, and how they are built through his short stories and novellas in the group known as the Cthulhu Mythos.

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立臺灣師範大學<br>英語學系<br>105<br>This research aims to seek new possibilities of opening up H. P. Lovecraft’s world of the Cthulhu Mythos, and will focus specifically on his work “The Call of Cthulhu.” Starting with a textual analysis of the story, the research develops with a background of horror genre and Lovecraftian philosophers like Eugene Thacker and Graham Harman. The core part of the project attempts to contextualize the transformation of the signs, symbols and images of Cthulhu Mythos within the postmodern, posthuman, and “Post-Lovecraftian ” context. Several subcultural cases include works of Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, and even Japanese animation as well as table games and children’s books. The research involves ontological and posthuman approaches to the Cthulhu Mythos, and highlights the importance of cultural and historical factors in Cthulhu Mythos’ fandom, scholarship, and ways of representation. Key Words: Lovecraft, Cthulhu Mythos, cultural studies, posthuman

Abstract:

This central chapter examines the importance of H.P. Lovecraft in how realized worlds are conceptualized in Dread Trident, especially within the context of TRPGs. It sees in Lovecraft, not just a writer of Weird fiction, but a writer of cosmic fiction who also, inadvertently, helped create a mythos. This ‘Cthulhu’ Mythos acts as a supreme example of how a realized world works because of how it incorporates a broad canvas of elements from a variety of individuals. Also, Lovecraft’s poetics of creating a sense of dread with Weird writing hints how he often sidesteps rather than directly draws the ultimate horror. Yet, his later writing embraced a materialistic categorizing of scientific and biological forms. This chapter looks through Lovecraftian scholarship, as well as a few of his own pieces of fiction, as well as the TRPG The Call of Cthulhu, for examples of how his mythos works and examples of his granular style.
