What's a Novella?

I'm wondering--do we have a rule for what counts as a novella vs. a short story? The question mainly matters for whether we italicize or put the title in quotation marks--I think that's our rule, anyway.

Mostly I see novellas described as being between 17,500 and 40,000 words, though sometimes you see 20,000 as the lower bound, and sometimes it's 10,000. In round numbers, that's like 60, 70 or 35 pages as the minimum.

It might be worth taking a look at our page on Lovecraft's word counts:

Lovecraft's Word Counts

These are the stories that would be novellas with the shorter count:



The Dunwich Horror is the only story between 17,500 and 20,000 words.

These are the Lovecraft stories that are pretty clearly novellas--between 20,000 and 40,000 words…

Arkham House

So today I decided to have a look at the Arkham House website only to discover that it is currently down. Looking into it, the site appears to have been down for nearly a year. I also checked their Facebook page, and there have been no new posts from them for over 2 years. According to ISFDB, they haven’t produced any new material for 13 years; Wikipedia states that a handful of titles have been reprinted.

I’ve checked every way I can think of to try and find out if they are still active, but at the moment it looks like we may have lost Arkham House.

Incorporating Other Wiki Material (When Appropriate)

I wanted to raise the topic of slightly relaxing our rule about incorporating material from other wikis into the HPLW.

I think there are two main objections to such incorporation--the ethical and the practical--which I'll address in turn.

The ethical objection is that copying and pasting material from other wikis is either plagiarism or too close to plagiarism. To that I would say, at least with Wikipedia and I believe with other wikis, part of the initial conception was that it was creating content for not just readers, but for other creators as well to use. That's why everything has a Creative Commons license -- it's this one, here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ It specifically authorizes one to "copy and redistribute the…

On the Origin of the Great Old Ones

There are many unanswered questions in the Cthulhu Mythos.

For example, what is that white polypous thing in the bayou?

Who left that note in Dr. Willett's pocket?

What's the relationship between the Fishers from Outside and the devil-flies?

Did life on Earth start with the Elder Things' experiments, or with Ubbo-Sathla?

And of course, what exactly are the Great Old Ones, and how did they originate?

Needless to say, the truest answer to all these questions is: "you decide". Different authors have provided their own diverging answers, and as readers, we're absolutely free to choose the ones we prefer, or to invent our own.

The theory that I'll discuss here, concerning how the Great Old Ones are created, is one of many possibilities. I don't claim …

Category Overhaul 2.0

Hey there folks, I hope you’re all doing well.

As you’re probably aware, we’ve been streamlining the category system recently, beginning with the Real World side of things. Now, we’re ready to start on the in-universe aspect.

Below is the proposed layout for the Fictional category system. I’d like to invite everyone to comment on what’s missing, what’s unnecessary and what’s in the wrong place. Any input is welcome, and I’d love to hear from you all.

Category Overhaul 1.2

Hi again folks, here is the proposed final draft for the "Real World" side of our category makeover. Unless someone points out anything major that needs to be reworked, then we’ll be starting to implement this on Friday 18 June. Anybody who’d like to help out is more than welcome to, please message me to arrange work areas so that we can avoid getting tangled up with each other. I’d appreciate it if everyone could refrain from starting the changeover before I give the go-ahead.

Once again, thanks to everyone who has taken the time to give input,

Hi there everyone, this blog is to update the progress of the category overhaul after the first week. Now that I’ve spoken to some of you, I’ve adjusted the the proposed new layout per suggestions, and have included it below for everyone to have a look at and put forward any more opinions. The categories which have been added since the previous post are in bold, those removed are indicated by a strikethrough.

Please note that some pages may be categorised under more than one of these tags; this is inevitable, and is just the nature of the beast.

Something I’d like to make absolutely clear is that these categories will not be the only ones on the Real World side of this wiki; these will be the bases to which all others are subsidiary. For exa…

As some of you may be aware, we are planning on re-organising the entire category system, beginning with the "real world" side.

Cthulhu's aliases (trivia)

Hi!


I'm again in the process of completing pages related to the , and I was looking to know if the exact spellings "Kthl" or "Ktuhl" were ever used for Cthulhu in the Cthulhu Mythos (based on the little I have, I assume that would Ramsey Cambell, Lin Carter, or Brian Lumley, in the case the spelling is indeed ever used)?

Those two spellings are used among many "ftaghn" invocations (including "ftaghn Nyerlathortech", "... Yot-Soter", "...Yoggor", "... Llhek", "... S'geht", "...Shuma-Gorath".

By the way, if any of the above names, or the name "Shoggor", rings any bell, I'm listening. So far, Nyerlathorthech=ref or alternate to Nyarlathotep, Yot-Soter=ref or alternate to Yog-Sothoth.

Thanks in advance,

Have a great day.

Is there a place to put non-canon entities/events/objects?

I mean, its a Wiki, there should be place like that, and I can think of a plenty ideas in a span of seconds.

Our stance is that there is no canon. As long as it's a professional release, it's good. The only thing we consider "non-canon" would be fan fiction, to keep it sensible. If the fanfiction is significant, I guess you culd put it in the "behind the mythos" or "trivia" sections.

I need ideas for my pantheon of entities called "The Beyonders", based on various concepts such as Endings, Beginnings, and Fate, inspired by the various gods of lovecraftian lore.

Yvriolketl, The eternal darkness: Ruler of all dark, literal or metaphorical. All evil, sin, terror, madness, and all negative things come from him in some way. He himself often interacts with humanity, claiming they amuse him. In 1900, he scared one H.P. Lovecraft, changing him forever. His true form is indescribable by finite language, but he regularly changes into a monochrome human dressed in half-grungy half-formal clothing.

Mythos Connections

I’ve been writing articles for this wiki for a couple of months now, and one thing I always like to do is state how these characters/books/storylines fit in with the Mythos. Whilst I understand that not every article is a part of Lovecraft's world directly, I believe that every page should at least have an explanation of its position/connection to the Mythos, rather than an assumption that the reader knows exactly how it feeds in. I feel that so many pages on this wiki are comic book stubs whose connection to the Mythos can only be gleaned through clicking on multiple links. I don’t mind trying to fix those pages so that there’s something to connect them to the Mythos, but I think that my past history might make my actions seem like harass…

What follows is the preserved work of 179.111.25.3 and SergioCamppo ( Sergio Roberto Sbeghen Campos) for any obscure fanfiction enthusiasts out there.

Fungi from Yuggoth

When I started to write up the plot for Fungi from Yuggoth one sonnet at a time I assumed that it was one long story. The first 4 were about someone stealing a book to explain their unusual visions. By the fifth the first possible link to Randolph Carter appears as a daemon offers to take them back to a magnificent city they once called home "When they had sight". Struggling to fit in "VI The Lamp" and "VII Zaman's Hill" I hoped that reading on would help me figure them out . Instead the narrator contines from Arkham (which I assumed to be the city from the first sonnet) to Innsmouth where they find it to be a cult riddled maze where dancing corpses drag them  through the streets to drumbeats ("IX The Courtyard" and "X The Pigeon-Flyers"). …

I normally don't make blog posts but dangle an achievement under my nose and I'll do pretty much anything. That being said now that I'm here I may as well say that although I'm still learning the ropes I'm hoping to flesh out some of the smaller details bits of the nearly infinite Lovecraft Library. Admittedly as a bit of a purist I'm trying not to get lost in the extended canon but I'm sure I'll get my head around it eventually.

The Curse of Yig Narration + Score

I've just finished up work on a recording featuring a narration of "The Curse of Yig" with an original score by the doom folk group Freight Train Rabbit Killer. It's kind of a cross between an audiobook and a movie soundtrack. Check out a preview clip here: https://soundcloud.com/user-618267245/the-curse-of-yig-preview-clip-1

Development Call to Action!

Wikis have become the primary repository for knowledge on just about every topic imaginable. But the H.P. Lovecraft Wiki has been largely unused.

Consider the following statistics: The Marvel Comics wiki has 146,928 pages, The Star Wars wiki has 121,472 pages, The Dr. Who wiki has 47,544 pages, The Game of Thrones wiki has 2,961 pages. The Lovecraft wiki has 387 pages. Is it possible there are so few H.P. Lovecraft fans? Certainly not! There are more fans of the Cthulhu Mythos now than ever in history. With new board games, t-shirts, hats, and even plush dolls released every year, Lovecraft fandom is at an all time high.

Cthulhu sandbox

Cthulhu is a fictional deity in the Cthulhu Mythos. He is described as an ancient entity of immense power that manipulates the minds of human beings from his sunken island of R'lyeh. He first appears in H.P. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu", but remains a recurring presence and force throughout the stories in the titular mythos.

Mythos References in Johannes Cabal

Hello, all! I was first brought to attention about the Cthulhu Mythos through a book series known as Johannes Cabal. And now, I bring that series to your attention. The series is by Jonathan L. Howard, and is filled with dark humor and references to Lovecraft everywhere (especially in the third book Johannes Cabal: The Fear Institute, which actually takes place in Lovecraft's Dreamlands). I'm severely recommending it to you all, as it's a brilliant series, with amazing characters. The first book, Johannes Cabal: The Necromancer, can probably be found at your local library, or on Amazon here.

Well, Have I got an announcement for you!

We at ...Of Doom! Productions have the honor and privilege to present "Pickman's Model". This dark story, written by the literary genius H.P. Lovecraft, is a chilling tale about how things may not always be as they seem. To the millions of readers who enjoy his works, Pickman's Model is considered one of his greatest. Lovecraft deftly portrays the characters of Pickman (an artist with a demented sense of style, and a dark secret.), and Thurber (one of his greatest appreciators, whom soon finds himself in an horrifying situation.), allowing the …

This night is a night few will remember, nevertheless it is a crucial evening. Tonight I die. No longer do the thumps of passion save me. No longer will the taste of grand foods sustain me. Money, money is useless now. All my years I collected and hoarded it, uselessly for this moment. For what? To barter with Death herself? No.

What are the words? 'Once upon a midnight dreary,' what a phrase. How true it rings now. By all circumstances this is a perfect night to die. There is a soft chill wind at my window. Out into that dark void there is no happenstance of thunder and lightning, only snow, only stars, isn't that odd.

This house, this grandiose place is filled with too many memories, a ghost of a ghost. Long ago my name was Daniel Walter, …
