cosmichorror cthulhu eldritch horror hplovecraft lovecraft lovecraftian mythos shortstory strange weird

I'm trying my hand at an original Lovecraft-inspired short story.  It centers around Yig, one of the lesser-known deities in the Cthulhu mythos. This snake god was featured in "The Curse of Yig" by H. P. Lovecraft and Zealia Bishop, published in 1929 under Bishop's name.
I'm deliberately using a lot of "tell don't show" and minimal dialogue but not quite so wordy as Lovecraft was.All Rights Reserved

[BL] Daily Disposable Persona by gaodianshi

As Zong Yan sat in the classroom, he always felt like the odd man out. His body was there but his soul had sneaked out the window. He wanted to do anything, wanted to be anyone, as long as he wasn't himself. He had a cool and unbelievable superpower: He could extract different persona cards from the void with his bare hands. With a high enough "SAN" value, Zong Yan could become an entirely different being. Superpowers, ancient gods, eldritch powers, even... an Outer God. Soaring above the dome of the magical city, he was the free-flying son of the wind. Strolling through the rain-soaked, foggy streets of London, he was the secretive and unpredictable night watchman. Walking in the extravagance and glamour of New York, he was the sun god who held the light in his hands. Diving into the geometric city of R'lyeh, he was the indescribable king. In the gorgeous and colorful world of dreams, he was the original belief in the universe. Early to bed, early to rise, going to school on time, working late to save the world. A senior at Qingyang High School by day, honors scholar at Miskatonic University by night. Investigating unusual events all over the world during summer and winter vacation, battling wits and courage with evil gods, dedicated to preserving peace and saving a faltering world. Zong Yan: Thanks, but I'm just an ordinary high school kid. * CP is an unnamable evil god 日抛型人设 by 妄鸦

The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by HumbertoJCarter

DISCLAIMER: I do not own and did not write this story. It is a copy of Original Book by Robert Louis Stevenson that I have uploaded here because it was way better to read than the PDF I was given in school. But I decided to let it stay here to help spread the book to wider audiences. Hope you enjoy. ----- Author: Robert Louis Stevenson Publisher: Longmans, Green and Co. Year: 1886 ----- It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next. ------------

He had spent centuries with only himself for company, he fed, tortured and killed that was his life and he liked it that way, until she came along and stirred something in him, something he couldn't and wouldn't accept. “If I were you I’d keep that stake sharp. Don’t expect anymore visits like this, next time I come I expect you to use that thing,” he told her pointing to the stake on the bed, and then he was gone.
