Unaussprechlichen Kulten

Written by Friedrich von Junzt with the help of numerous "blood-curdling and partly-suspected sources" including the surviving members of the cult of Ghatanothoa, Unaussprechlichen Kulten, also known as Nameless Cults or the Black Book, is a fictional occult tome said to have been published in Düsseldorf in 1839.
The pages written in the last months of the author's life were found in pieces with his body after his death. When his friend Alexis Ladeau managed to reassemble the fragments and read what had been written, he burned them and cut his own throat with a razor.
The book was widely suppressed, and after von Junzt's death in 1840 many people burned their copies. Not counting the poorly executed Bridewall translation (London, 1845) or the heavily edited reprint by Golden Goblin Press (New York, 1909) there were not likely to be more than a half dozen copies in existence by the 1930s. One known copy can be found in the Miskatonic University Collection.

Yes, that cult lives today in the descendants of Bran's people—a silent, unknown current it flows on in the great ocean of life, waiting for the stone image of the great Bran to breathe and move with sudden life, and come from the great cavern to rebuild their lost empire."
