Gee, i thought the Unnameable was more like the "Unwatchable". Hated it.

I reccommend the earlier adaptation of "TCoCDW" as well, "The Haunted 
Palace". Although attributed to a Poe poem, it is indeed Lovecraft.
Not too bad.

NYC that was run by an old crone.  For a joke, he asked "Do you have a

There's only a finite set of Lovecraft stories, and once you've read
every story two or three times you sort of feel empty. (Favourite
story, you ask? Why, it's a tossup between Mountains of Madness and
the Music of Erich Zahn). So I'm always happy to find other stuff that
makes me feel like Lovecraft does.

And I've found a bit. Not Derleth or deCamp - bleah! Certainly not
Steven King. Poe will do in a pinch.

But if you haven't read anything by Jorge Luis Borges, go find
yourself a copy of "Labyrinths" and read it. It's a bunch of short
short stories.

Borges was an Argentian author, born in 1899. He doesn't write horror,
per se - I doubt anything of his has ever appeared in pulp horror
format. But he does invent new mythologies, new thought patterns, and
this to me is what I find so interesting about Lovecraft. He also
writes better than Lovecraft - it's not quite so.. "eldritch".

Read the first story in the group (which is very Lovecraftian), and
read "The Library of Babel". Then read the rest oif you like them.

Nyarlathotep was definitely unfriendly in that story (along with all the
other ones he appears in), but Nodens doesn't appear actually good.  He
is mentioned as lord of the night-gaunts, who are beings you would not
normally associate with "good", and yells encouragement to Carter when
he is in the final struggle.  On the basis of this story, you couldn't
call Nodens "good" except on the enemy-of-my-enemy principle.  He comes
off a little better in "The Strange High House in the Mist" (if that's the
right title), but does not seem like a reasonable equal of Nyarlathotep.

Certainly there are no cosmic good guys in the more specifically Cthulhu
Mythos stories; the characters are on their own and usually are in
pretty bad shape by the end of the story.

Yea, those Great Old Ones of Thrash, Metallica, have put forth another of the
unholy epics, entitled "The Thing That Should Not Be" and it is indeed a
toothsome melody.

Additionally, there be a certain band Deicide by name, who have put forth a work
called "Dead By Dawn" which mentions the Necronomicon by name, and quotes from
that dread Book. They have also produced one song "Dead But Dreaming" and pray
therein to the great Cthulhu. Yet I suspect that this Deicide would not be
appreciated by many here, being of the type called "death metal" and even
"satanic" and not dealing to any great extent with the unholy genius Lovecraft.

Although I do not possess familiarity with their works, I suspect that certain
of the modern Bands, Tiamat and Unleashed by name, may also deal with the
Master in part.

I reckon the connection between King and Lovecraft to be a loose one, as there's
few stories of the two that really compares alike. King does not have the "mythos"
feel of Lovecraft, and does not write within a "set" universe. King also lack
the proper background to make his stories believeable, although having made some
attempts with referances to lovecraftian inventions like the Necronomicon and
Vermiis Mesteriis. I think both writers are great on their own, but hope King
stop dealing with lovecraftian things that really don't fit his style of writing.

Hi,
 i have some questions:

   - did you know that H.P. Lovecraft was definitly racist (i read
     it in two biographies about him....)?

Unenlightened would probably be a better word. Lovecraft was not a
very outgoing person (to say the least), and had trouble trusting
and dealing with people of his own race - let alone those of another.
He also had a penchant for formulating and propagating opinions in
his letters, some of these being about things he knew nothing about.
I don't excuse his ethnocentrism; but his stories aren't a platform
for these opinions anyway, so I have no problems with enjoying them
and respecting the imagination of the person behind them.

him at the age of 5 during the very last year of HPL's life, he would now
be an incredible 59 years old.  He looks a wee bit younger than that.  Of

That's not how HPL pronounced it.

According to a BBC radio documentary from some time back, it's more like
"k'thull-chlew" (rhyming with "pull" and "few" respectively). The "ch"
is the sort of throat-clearing noise common to European languages, not
the harder "ch" of English. Even this is probably an approximation -
that name is intended to be pronounced by inhuman vocal apparatus.

The Call of Cthulhu game rules note that HPL used a pronounciation
something like the BBC's, but in the pronounciation guide gave a
simplified pronounciation, "kuh-THOOL-hoo", that was manageable by
mere mortals. The 5th edition dropped the guide and simplified it
to "kuh-THOO-loo".

The book you refer to is not in any useful sense the Necronomicon,
just someone's attempt at making a quick buck off a well-known name.
I wouldn't mind if the author had made a reasonable attempt to match
it up to HPL's works. But trying to fob us off with Sumerian mythology -
sheesh.

"The Dunwich Horror" quotes extensively from the Necronomicon. One
passage is over a page long. _None_ of those quotes appear in the
Avalon ripoff, nor anything remotely related to them.

"The Call of Cthulhu" and "At the Mountains of Madness" refer to many
things in the Necronomicon. None of these things appear in the Avalon
edition. Not even the infamous couplet "That is not dead that can
eternal lie..."

In other words, ignore that book. It has no authority.
