It's not currently listed at the TV Tropes Wiki, but it's certainly used in some Cosmic Horror and Cthulhu Mythos fiction.
I suppose I could go open an account there and change that, but I'm already spread so thin.
That said, if someone with more time and an existing TV Tropes Wiki account wants to borrow this meme, you have my blessing. We've certainly stolen enough from you folks.
