Hello all. I am new here, yes, and I am fairly new to Lovecraft as well. Please forgive anything ignorant I may say
But I was just wondering if the pronunciation of Azathoth was ever mentioned anywhere?

I always said is AH-zah-thoth. Just as it would read in English, stress on the A.

some people pronounce it 'toth,' like 'azatoth' and 'yog-sototh'
A monkey riding a dog is probably the awesomest thing that could ever happen.
