The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath
The story makes reference to the Celtic god Nodens, who also appears in "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath". This entity was later incorporated into the Cthulhu Mythos by August Derleth as the leader of the Elder Gods. In the same passage in "The Strange High House", Lovecraft also mentions the arrival of the god Neptune, but that Roman deity has not similarly been adopted by Lovecraftian writers.
