What is Eldritch / Cosmic Horror?

Eldritch/cosmic horror is a subgenre of horror that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible, rather than elements such as gore, violence, or shock. The moderators of this zine recognise the author most often referenced as the founder of this genre was deeply problematic, even by the standards of his contemporaries. However, Eldritch Horror has grown beyond him, and others from all walks of life have gone on to create exceptional works in this genre. Additionally, the word "eldritch" has a different etymology separate from that author.From The Etymology and Meanings of Eldritch (linked above):
We might do better, then, to understand eldritch in the etymological sense which I have proposed, of ‘otherworldly’—which is congruent with the definition in the Scottish National Dictionary: ‘weird, ghostly, uncanny, unearthly, hideous, esp. of sound; often applied to persons, things and places, usually to denote some connection with the supernatural’.
Hall, Alaric (2007) The Etymology and Meanings of Eldritch. Scottish Language, 26. pp. 16-22. ISSN 0264 0198 Stories in this genre often feature themes such as: fear of the unknown, supernatural / extraterrestrial influences, erosion of presumptions about the nature of reality, mankind’s place in the grand scheme of things, protagonists faced with unfathomable powers.For a full list of examples of media featuring eldritch horrors, please check out our info doc.

Org/Writing Mod for Dimileth: Seasons of Change | Co-Mod for Dimileth Tarot Event | Writer Contributor in Desperately In Love and Mo Ghrá

MxMearcstapa, known to some as Molly, was lured from the depths of murky waters with a few drops of blood and the promise of a fresh meal. They are tethered here by an abundance of sushi and a love of storytelling, though they remain elusive. If located, please stay clear of their teeth.

Merch Mod: Moa

Graphics Mod: Windy

Graphics Mod for Manakete Millennium | Writer Mod for Love, Manuela | Contributor for Various Zines

The soul of one FearlessWindy awoke from her slumber after countless years floating in the cosmos, starving and alone.

Searching with an unending need to find new horrors to inflict upon others, she made home in the quaint planet of Earth from which upon she lends her “help” to the ever flowing feast that is Fódlanomicon.

Her weakness is fried potatoes.

Shipping & Finance Mod: Lexi

Finance Mod for Written in the Stars | Org., Finance & Shipping Mod for Prismatic | Org., Finance & Shipping Mod for Divine Overture

To the mortal eye, Lexi appears as a small fleeting shadow - mistaken by some as a tiny cat scurrying out of view.
