Cthulhu is a fictional character created by H.P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft also created
a body of work known collectively as the "Cthulhu Mythos" that also includes the dreaded
book The Necronomicon as well as the most learned institution of higher learning in America, if
not the world, Miskatonic University. This mythos originated in a series of stories mixing horror and
science fiction. As for Cthulhu himself , he is an evil being from outer space who sleeps in his temple on a sunken island.
Several of Lovecraft's friends, such as August Derleth, also wrote stories about this evil octopoid being.
These tales form the "Cthulhu Mythos." Cthulhu stories are still being written by fans and friends of Lovecraft.
