    Is this a literature genre, like “routine cosmic horror”? Like it’s basically the real world with Lovecraftian horrors being real, but instead of driving humanity mad, it’s just one more annoyance on top of everything else going on.

      I came into the comments with the term “casual cosmic horror” on my lips, and the same question. It’s such an enjoyable juxtaposition of themes.

      Here’s another favourite:

        Got sort of a Night Vale vibe to it I think. I’d love more of this kind of stuff!
