Mythos Quotes

It is verily known by few, but is nevertheless an attestable fact, that the will of a dead sorcerer hath power upon his own body and can raise it up from the tomb and perform therewith whatever action was unfulfilled in life.

Keys to Power beyond Reckoning: Mysteries of the Tyson Necronomicon

Written by John Orne   
Monday, 30 June 2008

"You who would learn the wisdom of hidden things and traverse the avenues of shadow beneath the stars, heed this song of pain that was chanted by one who went unseen before you that you may follow the singing of his voice across the windblown sands that obscure the marks of his feet."

-Necronomicon: The Wanderings of Alhazred

What strange secrets lurk inside the Tyson Necronomicon? It proudly proclaims itself to be "fictional" and based purely on the work of Lovecraft but what does this mean exactly?

Notes on the Revelations of Glaaki
Reviews - Tome Reviews
Written by Anonymous   
Thursday, 05 June 2008

The main problem that confronts a student of The Revelations of Glaaki is not the extreme scarcity of copies, but rather the corruption of the text in the oft-cited (though still extremely rare) Golden Goblin edition of the work.  It is very fortunate, then, that noted scholar Antonius Quine has issued his own edition of this very unique tome, published by the prestigious Standish Press.

The Fated Darkness

Monday, 12 May 2008

Essentially, this is a story about patriotism. And, obviously, a little snub against America getting a little over-zealous on the war path these days. Then there's also some monsters/fallen angels/dragons thrown in for good measure.

As for An Tenebrae Dubh... He's whoever you want Him to be. 

Enjoy.

Review: The Book of Old Ones - Worst Idea Ever
Reviews - Tome Reviews
Written by Anonymous   
Wednesday, 26 March 2008
How to use horrifying god-monsters from beyond reality as helpful house-elves.  The thrust of the book is that Mythos abominations can be invoked easily to conveniently solve all sorts of common, every-day problems.  For those of you expecting a sanity-shattering book of evil, this is not it.

In his own unique way, H. P. Lovecraft is a somewhat controversial figure. After decades of obscurity, his work is only now beginning to be examined as serious literature. By contrast, Edgar Allan Poe is well established as a serious author, and generally accepted in the literary canon.

A Meditation on the Simon Necronomicon
Articles - Necronomicon
Written by Andrew Pernick   
Wednesday, 11 July 2007
Simon's Gate rituals discuss the existence of seven so-called Gates, or doorways to higher planes of consciousness. The book claims that these Gates open to seven zones above the Earth, and that the Gates were known to the Chaldeans, followers of Greek texts written in the 2nd cent. BC by Julius the Theurgist. Such followers included, in the modern era, the Golden Dawn, whose membership rolls included, as a high-ranking member, Aleister Crowley.

 The store had no name. In the history of the city, through its busts and booms, its highs and lows, it remained, untouched, changing only insofar as it changed hands, acquired help, let its stock grow and shrink. But it never had a name.

As I approached the room, I smelt death. Two years in France with the Suffolk Regiment had made that smell as instantly recognisable as that of new-mown grass; newly mown soldier. I walked slowly toward Saunders’ hotel room door hoping I was wrong, but what else could have a combination of the bright, metallic taste of blood and the rich, foetid smell of opened guts?

The Call of Cthulhu
Lovecraft - Best of Fiction
Written by H. P. Lovecraft   
Tuesday, 10 April 2007
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Dreams in the Witch-House
Lovecraft - Best of Fiction
Written by H. P. Lovecraft   
Tuesday, 10 April 2007
Whether the dreams brought on the fever or the fever brought on the dreams Walter Gilman did not know. Behind everything crouched the brooding, festering horror of the ancient town, and of the mouldy, unhallowed garret gable where he wrote and studied and wrestled with figures and formulae when he was not tossing on the meagre iron bed. His ears were growing sensitive to a preternatural and intolerable degree, and he had long ago stopped the cheap mantel clock whose ticking had come to seem like a thunder of artillery. At night the subtle stirring of the black city outside, the sinister scurrying of rats in the wormy partitions, and the creaking of hidden timbers in the centuried house, were enough to give him a sense of strident pandemonium. The darkness always teemed with unexplained sound - and yet he sometimes shook with fear lest the noises he heard should subside and allow him to hear certain other fainter noises which he suspected were lurking behind them.

I don't want to know this anymore. I've sinned.

No. Not sin, not exactly. But I've gone where I shouldn't, and so here I am. These things I've unleashed upon the world, this curse, I don't know the cure. All I can say is that I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.

Review of Baby's First Mythos

Written by Bast   
Friday, 22 December 2006
Of all the Lovecraftian inspired works I've read, one of the most horrifying, amusing, and unexpected was Baby's First Mythos, written by C. J. Henderson and illustrated by his daughter, Erica Henderson. The book takes its readers on an ABC and 123 journey through the Mythos, from Azathoth to Zarnak.

Review: The Simon Necronomicon
Reviews - Necronomicons
Written by Old Theobald   
Thursday, 21 December 2006
The Simon Necronomicon, that little black paperback from Avon, is undoubtedly the most common of the commercially available Necronomicons.  The book was originally released as a limited run of 666 leather-bound copies.  A cloth-bound hardcover followed, in a run of 3333 copies.   In its mass-market paperback incarnation, this book holds the dubious honor of being the easiest Necronomicon to find.

Review: Wildside/Owlswick Necronomicon
Reviews - Necronomicons
Written by Old Theobald   
Tuesday, 19 December 2006
The Wildside Necronomicon is a paperback reprint of the infamous Owlswick Necronomicon, published in 1973 in a limited edition of 348.  This was the first commercially available Necronomicon.  The bulk of the text is written in “Duriac,” an artificial script created by an artist for this project.  An interesting feature of this book is that it reads from right to left, like Arabic or Hebrew.
