This Cthulhu tree topper is hand-felted by Etsy seller Nifer Fahrion.
Sure, he’ll destroy all mankind, but in the mean time you’ll get a whole house-full of fanatical cult of believers ready to do your bidding during the holiday season. By the time they clue into what’s going on, they will already be tormented by visions of this Ancient One.
The closeup pictures at Etsy are even more terrifying. Link -via Everlasting Blort

Artist artist Julien Bazinet found himself wondering what would happen if The Peanuts gang were mixed in with the stories of H.P. Lovecraft. The resulting comics are funny and cute, particularly little Snoopy posing as Cthulhu.

Before your little tyke rolls his first insanity check, he needs to know what he’s getting into. Thankfully, Dr. Seuss (or deviantART user DrFaustusAU) made a shortened version of H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Call of Cthulhu” for younger minds.

Have you ever wondered what The Call of Cthulhu was all about but didn’t want to go to the bother of reading the H.P. Lovecraft story? Wonder no more. This is a cute and concise summary that anyone can understand.
In the permalink of Topless Robot awesome list of 6 Boring New England Destinations Made Awesome by H.P. Lovecraft waits:
Providence, RI
Where do we even begin? Lovecraft was born in Providence, spent his entire life there (minus a two-year stint in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, NY), and painfully died there in 1937. Several of his best-known stories, including "The Call of Cthulhu" and "The Curious Case of Charles Dexter Ward," spotlight Providence locales. It’s impossible to accurately surmise how much of an impact Providence had on Lovecraft, but his headstone in the city’s Swan Point Cemetery sums up the author’s own influence on the city rather modestly: "I AM PROVIDENCE"But unless you’re an art student at Providence’s prestigious Rhode Island School of Design, the city may be a bore for you. Criminals seem to like the city, reflected in it high rate of violent crime. Their roads are a mess, the cost of living is way higher than in most parts of the U.S., and for a city with an impressive downtown skyline, there is next to zero nightlife. For nerdy outsiders, we’d rather read about Lovecraft’s Providence than actually travel there.
Cthulhu Water Bottle – $11.95

Wrap you your baby, safe and secure, in the tentacles of Cthulhu with this crocheted baby blanket. It was created by Craftster user Fickle Pegasus for her husband’s co-worker’s son. Velcro tabs at the end of the tentacles help secure baby toys or, I suppose, the child itself.
“Hey There Cthulhu” is a love song by the The Eben Brooks Brand, from their 2007 album Karaoke Bash Vol. 3. It is about a man expressing his tender love for the Dark One and his yearning for annihilation.
“I Saw Mommy Kissing Yog-Sothoth” is a take on the classic Christmas song “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” and is presented by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society. It’s from their album A Very Scary Solstice. On that same album you can find “Oh Cthulhu“, which is a take on the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s “Messiah”, sung by the Dagon Tabernacle Choir.
