"The Dream-Quest of Unknow Kadath" refers to it many times in detail
and places it firmly in the far North near the Pole.

"Through the Gates of the Silver Key" and "The Whisperer in Darkness"
name-drop Leng, while "The Other Gods", "The Strange High House in the
Mist" and "The Dunwich Horror" mention Kadath but not Leng (the last being
an extract from the Necronomicon). I don't know of any other references
(probably missed a few).

For my money Leng is near the North Pole of the Dreamlands
and the South Pole of the waking world. Where did the idea that it was
in the Himalayas come from?

Killing Joke has demonstrated an interest in the occult as well. 
Check out their album "Brighter than a Thousand Suns" which 
contains a quote from Crowley's "Book of Lies" on the inside 
jacket, not to mention various references to Crowley and the 
Golden Dawn in their musical lyrics. The album is titled after
a book which describes the history of the atomic bomb, although 
(I believe) they are using the atomic bomb to symbolize the 
destructive potentials which may be uncovered through occult 
investigation, and which may pose a real danger (in their view)
to humanity.

Also Metallica.  Sorry if its already been mentioned, but I just suscribed to this group.  Anyway, on their album _Ride the Lightning_ the last song on the tape is called "Call of Kutulu_.  Also on _Master of Puppets_, the song "The Thing That Should Not Be" seems to have a lot of Mythos connotations.

	I believe there is a story which might be called "The Gable
Window" which mentions a lens which supposedly came from Leng.  The lens
allows a viewer sitting within a pentagram to view other planets.  However,
people in the other planets can also see you and go through the lens,
which is sort of unpleasant for the viewer.

He disappered. Charles Fort had some fun with this, because a man
named Ambrose Dexter disappeared 6 or so years later. to 
quote Fort "Was Someone Collecting Ambroses?" B}
There are those who point out that Bierce was nvolved with  Pancho Villa
and the Mexican revolution of the time. At their last recorded meeting
they had a bit of a tiff, and told each other to go to hell.
Quite possible that Villa had him killed, simple as that.
He wrote great stuff, that had a bit of influence on Lovecraft's
Mythos. Try "The Damned Thing" sometime....

   This may be a stupid question, but does anyone else out there play
a RPG called "Call of Cthulhu"?  If you don't, and you like RPGs, you 
ought to check it out.  Here is a small description of what happened
on my last adventure, for those of you who play it.  There were about 5
of us that entered the caverns that ran under Main Street in Arkham,
only 3 of us left alive.  As we walked into the main cavern, a hungry
shoggoth surfaces in the underground lake, those who made their sanity
roll lost 4 sanity.  The person who didn't make it turned into a blubbering
idiot.  In other words shoggoth-chow.  As we hastily departed, throwing
TNT over our shoulders as we left, one member tripped and fell, another
appetizer for the shoggoth.  Only this corpse had a weapon, a lit stick
of dynomite.  I'll bet that shoggoth had a pretty bad case of heartburn.
<G>
If this sounds like an interesting game, see if any gaming societies near
you play, or have played this game, and will they let you join.  If any of
you are from UNC-C, check out the UNCC Science-Fiction and Fantasy guild.
We meet at 3:00pm in Cone Center, rooms 5 & 6.  There is usually a Call of
Cthulhu game going on friday nights.  Enjoy.

Q. What do you get if you blow up a shoggoth?

A. Lots of hungry little shoggoths.

At least, that's what happened in my last game.

Deicide's "Dead by Dawn" is about the Necronomicon: 'Book of the dead, pages

said, I am unseen, dreamt the sacred passage aloud, trapped in a spell, of the

Right on the money. Excerpt from _The Hound_ in _Dagon and other Macabre Tales_
(Arkham House, 1965), p.155.

"...Alien it indeed was to all art and literature which sane and balanced
readers know, but we recognized it as the thing hinted of in the forbidden

the corpse-eating cult of inaccessible Leng, in Central Asia..."

I have a really cool .gif of Cthulhu.  Since I can't figure out how to use uuencode, and there aren't any TAs in the lab at 12:30 am, I am posting this message.  If anyone wants a .gif of Cthulhu, e-mail me, and I will send it to you.  This offer is good until November 15, 1992.  This .gif is excellent, and it even looks good in b&w, so you can convert it to PostScript and print it on a laser printer.  I know I did.

Never cared for the movie as a whole, but one scene was the best;

the long, slow scan of the table where Jack has been working on his novel,
and the very slow descent of the camera which allows the viewer to see the
manuscript that Jack has been hard at work at - the page currently loaded
in the typewriter is covered with endless repetitions of "All work and no
