Lovecraftian Fragments

Textual fragments... Creatures... Places...

I wish Howard Stanley Ward had never opened that book, then maybe I would never have heard of Tellei-nath or Nathguthgurhu, Desert of a Thousand Sorrows. Cthulhu was transported away... perhaps to The Abandoned River of Ith-Cygurnath but we were spared.

Howard Carter recollected John Dexter Ward's last words: "Ia! Ia! Ithlala! shugur Y'hathotep!"

Randolph Delapoer Howard remembered Randolph C. Gardner's last words: "N'gai, Yug'in'ago, ulg-lalei, y'hah; Tarshebothua..." Kadshogarthar was transported away... perhaps to The Forbidden Temple to Yugdar, the Handless One but we were spared. But I know that just beyond the stars, Yugthar lies in wait for the next time someone, like poor Earle D. Whately, tries to pull back the veil.

I regret questioning John Philip Gardner, then maybe I would never have heard of Azlar or The Stinking Andelain of Daggog thar. We learned that it destroyed Sar-Nylaqnath the Stalker of Minds eventually. We lived that day, but I still cannot sleep. I can hear the servant-beast Kadlui sheb now...
