Cosmic Horror

Cosmic horror explores the idea that the higher forces of the universe (supernatural beings, gods, etc) either do not care about or act against humans. Our morals and values are juxtaposed against a completely indifferent world, which functions in a way incomprehensible to our brains.

Cosmic horror has fascinated me since childhood, especially when mixed together with body horror or biomechanics, so I'm keeping my humble list of related material on this page.
