Head Like a Jar

"Head Like a Jar" is a short Cthulhu Mythos story by American author Edward M. Erdelac, which crosses the worlds of Howard Phillips Lovecraft with that of children's character Winnie-the-Pooh. It was published in the April Moon Books anthology The Call of Poohthulhu in May 2022.
==Synopsis==
Christopher Robin, now living under the name of Billy Moon in an attempt to escape the legacy of his father's books, has a valuable grimoire stolen from him. Tracking the perpetrator down, he comes across the man conducting a sinister ritual, one resulting in the summoning of an eldritch being which proceeds to attack Moon. In an effort to evade the beast, he retreats into a small corner of the Dreamlands: Hundred Acre Woods.
Appearing in this fantasy world as the character of Piglet, Moon encounters his childhood friends as well as a small Zoog who tells him that the land is being devoured by a creature which feeds the rewards of its feasting to the Sleeper of R'lyeh. Recruiting the aid of Pooh Bear and the dreamer A. A. Milne, the group destroy the being, saving Hundred Acre Woods and restoring all that was lost.
==Behind the Mythos==
The book stolen from Billy Moon was said to have been created from parts of "The Liber Ivonis, The Book of Karnak, The Testament of Carnamagos, the Ponape Scripture, de Vermiss Mysteriis, and the Scroll of Thoth-Amon".
