Five Star Gift Ideas

If your mom is a fan of cosmic horror movies, why not give her a gift that ties into that interest? Here are some ideas:

1. Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff (novel) – This book combines cosmic horror with social commentary and is set in the Jim Crow era. It's full of twists and turns that will keep your mom on the edge of her seat.

2. "The Call of Cthulhu" by H.P. Lovecraft (short story) – If your mom hasn't already read this classic cosmic horror story, she'll love it. It's a quick read, but it's chilling and unforgettable.

3. A subscription to Shudder – This is a streaming service dedicated to horror movies and TV shows. They have a huge selection of classic and contemporary horror, including cosmic horror movies like The Void and Color Out of Space.

4. The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (Netflix series) – While not strictly cosmic horror, this series has some Lovecraftian elements to it that your mom might enjoy. It's a prequel to the classic 1982 movie and features puppets and practical effects.

5. A Cthulhu-themed gift – There are a ton of Cthulhu-themed gifts out there, from t-shirts to coffee mugs to plushies. Your mom might enjoy a Cthulhu statue or a bookend set featuring the Great Old One.

6. An escape room experience – If your mom enjoys horror movies, she might enjoy an escape room experience that has a horror or cosmic horror theme. Check out local escape rooms to see if they have any such themes available.

Whatever you decide to get your mom, make sure it comes from the heart and reflects her interests. Cosmic horror isn't for everyone, but if it's something she loves, you can't go wrong with a gift that ties into that passion.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she gave birth to you.
