==Behind the Mythos==
Despite containing no direct references to either the works of H. P. Lovecraft or the greater Cthulhu Mythos, "Ripples in the Ether"'s inclusion in the collection Home From the Sea: Tales of Lovecraftian Terror indicates the author's belief that the story is in the same spirit as these works.
