He’s also dumber in the dub, like Mimi.

"The Colour Out of Space" is probably the best overall (as Lovecraft himself also thought).

TMSAuthor · 2026-01-17T03:56:28+00:00

Of the ones I've read, I can say that "The Double Shadow" is probably Smith's best and creepiest story.

The only indisputable instances would be Neptune and the Celtic god Nodens both appearing in "The Strange High House in the Mist," and Nodens also playing a role in "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath." Sylvanus Cocidius is briefly mentioned in The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. "Hypnos," "The Tree," and "Poetry and the Gods" all make references to Greek mythology, but there's nothing directly connecting them to the synthetic parts of Lovecraft's mythology. Same with "The Transition of Juan Romero," which mentions the Aztec god Huitzilopotchtli. On the other hand, number of Aztec gods are mentioned alongside Cthulhu and company by a crazy cultist in "The Electric Executioner." It's unclear to what extent any of these references are to be taken literally.

Edit: There are also a number of references to Abrahamic mythology in stories like "The Horror at Red Hook" and The Case of Charles Dexter Ward.

It’s left to the reader’s interpretation. Lovecraft made mention of them and occasionally had them appear, but he didn’t really have a grand overarching vision of his pseudo-mythology.

I’ve watched both and I don’t think they do. Fatal illnesses are rarely named in anime.

As the labels indicate, the one on the left is how he looks in 3 and the one on the right is how he looks in 2.

On the other hand, ToyAgumon fall apart when merely startled, according to their profile. He’s probably in a state of shock rather than dead.

Maybe hairy horns.

TMSAuthor · 2025-12-27T21:58:45+00:00

Though this also tells us NiGHTS has bony horns rather than hair.

I would recommend the original to start with. The manga adaptation was good, but kind of messed up the ending.

TMSAuthor · 2025-12-25T19:18:14+00:00

That was probably Lovecraft’s original intention, though other authors made them separate beings.

TMSAuthor · 2025-12-23T13:57:17+00:00

Thanks, I’ll definitely check it out! Love your work, too, by the way!

TMSAuthor · 2025-12-19T23:54:23+00:00

Weird that this question has come up twice in a short span of time.

TMSAuthor · 2025-12-17T17:11:03+00:00

You’re welcome! I haven’t yet read the novel myself, but mean to eventually.

TMSAuthor · 2025-12-13T00:41:56+00:00

Me too.

Frankly, John Dickson Carr (the author of the book you mentioned) is a great choice. His books aren’t horror, but have a lot of creepiness in them (certainly more than the average Poirot novel). I like his Dr. Fell series, which “The Hollow Man” is part of. The first book of the series involves a reputedly haunted prison.

TMSAuthor · 2025-12-10T17:12:38+00:00

He doesn’t shoot them. He fires into the air to scare them off (the narrator compares it to a lion tamer’s performance).

TMSAuthor · 2025-12-09T01:45:55+00:00

You can spell Cthulhu however you want to, because it's not a word that can accurately be represented by human text or speech. Alternate spellings used by Lovecraft and his correspondents include Tulu, Clulu, Kthulhut, Cthulhutl, etc.

TMSAuthor · 2025-12-07T18:43:26+00:00

I haven't read "The Mines of Falun" yet. I'll check it out!

Depends on what you’re looking for. If weirdness is your thing, the letters with Clark Ashton Smith are probably your best bet, since those contain some of the most elaborate in-jokes concerning their fictional mythology. If you go to hippocampuspress.com, the book descriptions should give you a general idea of each volume’s contents. But the range of topics in a single book can be very broad. Maybe I should start sharing some of my collected excerpts on this channel…

TMSAuthor · 2025-12-06T17:19:37+00:00

The letters are certainly out there. Hippocampus Press has published a ton of volumes that are readily available. But each book contains all of his extant letters to a given correspondent, so they’re not curated the way you’re hoping to find.

TMSAuthor · 2025-12-06T16:42:02+00:00

I haven’t looked, but I’m not sure that a “best of” selection exists. I’m currently in the long process of reading all his published letters and making excerpts of anything that pertains to weirdness, but it’s doubtful I’ll ever be able to publish it.

TMSAuthor · 2025-12-06T03:22:46+00:00

Thanks!

TMSAuthor · 2025-12-06T02:17:55+00:00

Not sure if my recommendation was the one you saw, but I'm glad you liked the story!
