  • It’s not. Everyone saying it is hasn’t actually read cosmic horror, and don’t know what it actually is.

    Which is something that can’t accurately be conveyed from one person to another, you just have to read it.

    The nature of cosmic horror means that no visual representation can ever be accurate.

    Though maybe you weren’t referring to Lovecraft when you said psychological horror?

    There is just something about cosmic horror that only works when reading. The nature of the horror being about unknown and literally indescribable creatures, visual depictions just never come close to what my brain conjures up while reading it.
