Fear of the Unknown: A Tribute To H.P. Lovecraft A project of Dreamscape Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About What We Want: Lovecraft style horror stories, particularly new takes on the Cthulhu Mythos. Lovecraftian horror is defined as a style of storytelling involving a set of supernatural, pre-human, and extraterrestrial elements. The hallmark of Lovecraft’s work is cosmicism: 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. Lovecraft’s work is also steeped in the insular feel of rural New England, and much of the genre continues to maintain this sense that “that which man was not meant to know” might be closer to the surface of ordinary life outside of the crowded cities of modern civilization.
