MODERATORS
It is up to the author how well they write it. The cosmic horror isn't from that you can't comprehend a thing. It is thst you comprehend that everything you thought was important is a lie. Nothing you have or will do has any meaning. You have never been safe, you will never be safe. All your problems could be easily fixed if you could understand the real nature of things. However, you never will. Also rent is still due
It is kinda like getting dialectic materialism actually
I've seen it written well. I'm still not scared by that even then. I just made a
face.
I'm not immune to being scared, not at all. I'm actually quite jumpy about some things. But "things are actually more indifferent, cruel, and arbitrary than you thought" is a miss on me because I'm always open for it getting worse.
It is the kinda fear that speaks to a downwards mobile middle class white guy. So that is why it was the scariest thing to literature types. Alot of work in that genera specifically of modern times point put thst is just the minority experience in America. One I like recently, the winter's tide series, has the story of innsmouth folk getting sent to internment camps in ww2 along side the japanese. The author is Ruthanna Emry and it is really good if you are interested in a modern take on lovecrafts stuff.
