Themes & contextMythos and canon
The Cthulhu Mythos is a developing network of stories, names, fictional books, places and recurring ideas. Its connections are real, but its authors do not always agree about the beings they share. This encyclopedia treats canon as a question of source and continuity: what a particular work establishes, what another work borrows, and what later writers or adaptations add.
