History Literature / CthulhuArmageddon

* GeniusBonus: The Rangers are often interchangeably referred to a squad and squadron. This makes no sense until you remember they're a military force descended from soldiers living on an Air Force Base.

* HalfHumanHybrid: Jackie is one of these, being the daughter of a ghoul and destined to become one herself.

* HumanoidAbomination: Nyarlathotep (of course) takes this form a few tiems. [[spoiler: John Henry Booth turns out to be one himself.]]

* NobleBigotWithABadge: Stephens, one of the Game Squad Rangers is a brave and capable soldier who dies heroically, but is misogynistic and racist towards blacks, and while he leaves the homosexual Hispanic Garcia alone, this might just be because their first cousins.

----

* ''Tales of the Al'Azif'' ("The Final Page" short story)

“Under an alien sky where gods of eldritch matter rule, the only truth is revenge.”

* XMeetsY: According to the prologue, the author was going for ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' meets ''TabletopGame/CallOfCthulhu''. He also mentions ''Franchise/MadMax''.

* TheRemnant: The government of New Arkham styles itself as the official United States Remnant. However, since its control only extends to New Arkham itself (a pre-[[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Rising]] military base converted into a burgeoning city) and the surrounding territory (some small towns and villages), no one really takes the claim all that seriously.

* BittersweetEnding: Bordering on a full-blown DownerEnding. [[spoiler: Alan Ward is killed and so is Peter Goodhill but New America is devastated, the children are all dead, while John is turning into a monster.]]

* LovecraftLite: Averted. It appears to be this way but [[spoiler: humanity has only three centuries to live, New America is destroyed, and the children were DeadAllAlong.]] Played straight in the fact the monsters are shown to have more human qualities than typically found in Lovecraftian writing.

''Cthulhu Armageddon'' is a series by Creator/CTPhipps set in the world of Creator/HPLovecraft's Franchise/CthulhuMythos.

* AdventureTowns: Scrapyard, Kingsport, and New Arkham.

* TheAtoner: Mercury wishes to become this but doesn't quite realize how difficult it's going to be in the Wasteland.
* BigBad: Alan Ward, implied to be a reincarnated Joseph Curwen, is this. Also qualifies as a BigBadWannabe since he lives in a world with alien gods.
* BittersweetEnding: Bordering on a full-blown DownerEnding. [[spoiler: Alan Ward is killed and so is Peter Goodhill but New America is devastated, the children are all dead, while John is turning into a monster.]]
* BodyHorror: Alan Ward has a nasty case of this, having mutated horribly from his use of black magic. [[spoiler: John has a serious case once he discovers his true nature as a half-human hybrid]]. Richard Jameson suffers a mild one of these, still hating the fact he's a ghoul centuries after becoming one.

* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler: The children the heroes were originally planning on rescued were sacrificed long ago and their souls bound to a LotusEaterMachine to "save" them from living in the hell that is post-apocalypse Earth.]]
* DoomedHometown: [[spoiler: New Arkham becomes one of these at the very end for no reason at all other than to kick our heroes when they're down.]]

* {{Expy}}: The Earthmovers appear to be ones for Chthonians combined with Dune's sandworms.
* EvilOverlord: Alan Ward rules a portion of the Wasteland like this.

* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Richard Jameson is a Friendly Neighborhood Ghoul.

* LastFertileRegion: Ghoul Pass isn't the only one but it shocks Mercury when she sees it.
* LovecraftLite: Averted. It appears to be this way but [[spoiler: humanity has only three centuries to live, New America is destroyed, and the children were DeadAllAlong.]] Played straight in the fact the monsters are shown to have more human qualities than typically found in Lovecraftian writing.
* MagicalNativeAmerican: The Dunwych to an extent with the subversion they're descendants of a bunch of tourists who formed a tribal (but functional society) in a green zone near the aforementioned town. They're stated to be a "new race" due to the mixture of the people onboard the bus.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: This happens with Jessica a couple of times since she's only feigning a Texas drawl.
* OneManArmy: John repeatedly kills things no human has any right to be able to. [[spoiler: Because he's not human.]]
* OmnicidalManiac: Alan Ward believes he needs to exterminate humanity's survivors in order to transcend them into something else. John is disturbed to note there's a little logic to his words given humanity's imminent extinction.

* TortureTechnician: Mercury was forced into being one of these when she was barely above a teenager.

* CthulhuMythos: This is a story set a century after H.P. Lovecraft's Great Old Ones rose from their slumber.

* BlackAndGrayMorality: For the human characters. The Wasteland has embittered humanity so the majority of survivors are one kind of scumbag or another. Some are pure evil, though, and this makes the others look better.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: The Great Old Ones themselves. They destroyed the world waking up and are probably not even aware of humanity. Averted with the human or near-human characters who may be good or evil depending on their actions.

* ShoutOut: The Hyborian Age, Titus Crow, and Herbert West are all given shout-outs. Also, there's some allusions to Stephen King's The Dark Tower. The VideoGame/{{Wasteland}} also gets one in the middle of the book.

John Henry Booth is a ranger of one of the largest remaining city-states when he’s exiled for his group’s massacre and suspicion he’s “tainted.” Escaping with a doctor who killed her husband, John travels across the Earth’s blasted alien ruins to seek the life of the man who killed his friends.
