A constant theme in Lovecraft's work is the bleakness of the universe, and Earth sits like an island in a sea of madness that could sink at any moment.
The only apparent force for good, as humans would see it, in the entire thing is cats, which are apparently low-tier interstellar monster-fucker-uppers
Lovecraft describes all kinds of horrible monsters the nature of which is beyond "human comprehension". A lot of them have weird names.
You can say those names. In all his stories, the only character's name that you cannot say is that of the cat that saves the expedition and frees the shepherd of rats from his ancestor's curse. The vehicle of sanity and salvation is the one truly unspeakable horror.
