Why can the myth of Cthulhu affect future generations for so long?

The Legend of Cthulhu is an overhead legend system adapted from the novel world of American writer howard phillips lovecraft. It was compiled and perfected by august wilhelm Dresden and created by many authors.

The aesthetic value of Cathulu myth lies in the destruction of narrative. The Cthulhu system did not shape the traditional image. The characters in the book are just a group of people who are scared to death. If you ask them what they see, they may not see anything. This technique is really difficult for ordinary people to understand (Cthulhu, like impressionist painting, was spurned at the beginning of its birth). Imagine that if a person describes a horrible thing to you, he doesn't mention the incident itself at all, but only says "extremely horrible, extremely horrible, extremely horrible …". I think readers will probably feel at first that they have never seen such a brazen narrative technique. However, if the author insists on emphasizing this horrible feeling rather than the horrible thing itself, readers will begin to think about what is so horrible. Then, you may involuntarily put all your experiences on this emotion to achieve the maximum compensation from your brain. Lovecraft himself did not add visual descriptions to ancient gods, evil gods and monsters in his works. He may think that the scariest thing is added to everyone's own experience. As an artist, all he has to do is a hypnotic guidance of art. Aesthetic evolution and spiritual enlightenment always go hand in hand. At the turn of that century, the certainty of civilization began to lose, followed by the elimination of the center and subject in the work, the death of the author, the limitations and intertextuality of language and reason, and so on. Since then, the settings of extensiveness, narrative and overhead have become empty. Duchamp once said that "art is dead", but in fact, readers have become "ghosts in the shell". Personally, the person who is most similar to Lovecraft in the field of painting is Mark Roscoe. In a quiet and secluded place in Houston, Texas, there is a Roscoe chapel. People who enter it can only sit and read or meditate. The following is a picture I found on the Internet. I visited it myself, sat quietly in it all afternoon, and felt his paintings with my heart. In fact, the original function of art should not be like this, providing us with an environment where our thoughts drift. After some interaction, it can't give us any guidance, where we are and where we are going, and the program can't interact with the phenomena outside the shell. In fact, everyone has an answer in his heart, just like when we were born, our deepest fear was rooted in our body and mind.
