Best Apps for Lovecraft Mythos Fans

Perhaps no author in the 20th century has shaped the genre of horror (and fantasy, and science fiction) more than H.P. Lovecraft. In his lifetime, his popularity and appeal were somewhat limited. Following his death, slowly but surely, his reputation has grown to such an extent that he is now considered among the giants of literature. His books cross boundaries and blend genres, yet all have a chilling undercurrent. The mythos is genuinely vast and fascinating. Browsing through his oeuvre on your tablet or smartphone is a great way to fill spare time - and enjoy every minute of it. You can always discover something new - a disturbing secret or a chilling tale.

However, the reality of your life may be that you don't always have much time to devote to reading. Family, chores, long working hours, and a commute can all eat up your entire day. But what if you could turn the last item on this list into an advantage? Yes, a long commute can quickly become the perfect time to indulge in your favorite hobby and listen to audiobooks. Fortunately, most of Lovecraft's work is available in this format. The gods, the great old ones, and the other creatures of horror are all there.

Both of the options we have outlined so far are forms of passive enjoyment. Of course, this sort of thing is excellent, but - what if you'd like something a bit more interactive? The good news is there are more than a few games out there inspired by the horror, science fiction, and fantasy of Lovecraft. One of the best recent additions to the ever-growing collection is Cthulhu Realms. The goal? To drive your opponent mad! What could be more Lovecraftesque? The perfect blend of horror, fantasy - and fun.
