The Cthulu Mythos (the gritty remake)

In the extra-dimensional space known as filler, an idea was born. It was one of the elder ideas and one which had a thirst for human worship.

The Cthulu mythos is like a darker version of the Wizard of Oz.

What? You say Frank Baum is not like some creepy reactionary guy from New England who hated cities, the poor, and anybody not like him?

The parallels are obvious to any decent conspiracy theorist.

1: A large literary universe most created by other authors. 
Really!

2: A fantastic world hidden from the gaze of the rest of society. (OK, OK, a pretty common fantasy trope).

3: Sorry, I thought I had something and didn't.

The really interesting thing is that shared fictional universes were occurring a hundred years ago and not just as people try to add things to the Star trek or Star Wars universes.
