consider this for biblical parallels- Azathoth is a blend of the names Azezel and anathoth. Go figure!

I've never read the bible, but it seems like a coincidence to me...you could take any names from the bible and combine them to sounds scary...like combining Moses and JC together you get...Mosjosus...sounds pretty evil to me!!!

I think that was a referance to Cthulhu being named the High Priest of the Old Ones, but it's STILL a stretch. =/

That would be August Derleth...As a matter of fact, if it's bad then Derleth most probably was the one who did it.Asshat, indeed!

I concur with the "asshat" observation. :mrgreen:

As for Lumley, I've never read anything by him.

Threw it away!
Realised i had stashed money in it!
Comically rummaged through dumpster for it!
Got laughed at because i looked like a hobo!
Got laughed at because i read lumley!
