The Cthulhu Mythos was initially developed by American fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft in 1928 and includes the setting, beliefs, themes and creatures of the stories of Lovecraft and other writers (The H.P. Lovecraft Wiki, n.d.). The mythos was expanded by other fiction writers who were inspired by Lovecraft’s literature, meaning that it is a shared fictional world that is continually expanded upon even to this day (The Arcana Wiki, n.d.).
