==Behind the Mythos==
Although containing no direct references to either the works of H. P. Lovecraft or the greater Cthulhu Mythos, Meikle's inclusion of "Amoeboid" in the collection Home From the Sea: Tales of Lovecraftian Terror indicates his belief that the piece is in the spirit of such writings.
