To each historical epoch correspondssome literary genre, at the mention of which immediately became clear the time of the events described. For example, the phrase "Silver Age" speaks of the beginning of the 20th century, and "Romanticism" - about the end of the 18th and early 19th centuries.
The brightest example of this whole direction in general -the Cthulhu phenomenon. What is it really: fiction or authentic traces of the former civilizations? Nobody ever mentioned this community of extraterrestrial beings.
However, the myths of Cthulhu are seriously discussed, as if they are myths of Ancient Greece. This story, acquired flesh and blood in the minds of admirers, is considered the pinnacle of the author's work and the beginning of the fantasy genre.
Cthulhu, a book about which was published in 1928,on the subject - inhabitant of the depths of the Pacific Ocean. The story is an integral part of the cycle and is a series of stories that penetrate each other, that is, has a cross-cutting storyline. Stories of heroes - it's whether painful dreams, or delirious memories, hinting at the existence of something otherworldly. The book has become a cult, has gained crowds of worshipers, sects have formed, and, like in the book, the cult of Cthulhu arose. Cases of human sacrifice are known. At its core, this idolatry is absolutely satanic in nature.
Cthulhu - what is it, where did it come from, howlooks like? He is a triune in his guise. This is something between the squid, the man and the dragon with the undeveloped wings, according to some testimonies, his drool is constantly flowing.
The plot line is an alieninvasion. It is necessary to understand, speaking of Cthulhu, that this is a monster, personifying a universal evil. He wandered the universe for a long time, visited planets and satellites, one of whom got a family. And all together they came to Earth, where they fought for a long time with local Elders. The fight then flared up, then a truce came. But as a result of the last battle, the aborigines were destroyed, but the conquerors were punished by the universal gods. They, in any case, Cthulhu, were imprisoned on the ocean floor and became immovable. But even in this condition, this villain controlled the thoughts of people in a certain warehouse, imposing nightmares on them, driving them insane. The meaning of the story is that Cthulhu is waiting for his time, that this return will necessarily take place for the joy of his admirers.
The story is full of horror and mysticism. No wonder "original" creativity of its author occupied a special niche even in the genre of fantasy and was called "Lovecraft's horrors".
Over the "light" image Cthulhu worked not onlyLovecraft. Shocked by his work, American writer Brian Lumley also contributed to the creation of this image. Ramsey Campbell and Lin Carter put their hands on the myths of Ktuhl.
