Tales of Cosmic Chaos and Slimy Tentacled Beings: September 2009

Lately I have been concentrating on my other blog:

Shoes Off at the Door, Please

A blog of Lovecraft stories

This blog hosts a collection of stories by American horror writer, H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937).
A lot of horror is not really worth reading. However, I think Lovecraft is worth a look. His stories present a worldview and a cosmology in which humanity is hopelessly at the mercy of uncaring deities from distant places in space or another dimension.

I would argue that there is a degree of common ground between the worldview of Lovecraft's fiction and the biblical cosmology. I believe the Bible presents a view of the world under the dominion of evil celestial beings- principlalities and powers, most notably Lucifer or Satan. The big difference is that the Chistian believes that this kingdom of darkness will be overthrown by the coming Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ and that the cosmos will be restored and renewed by the glory of God.
