The Library

- Codices of the Mythos

- When The Stars Are Right...
- A chronological study into the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Especially useful to writers who want to make sure they have their dates right. Updated with The Cthulhu Lexicon.
- This page lists the known works of H.P. Lovecraft, along with a short synopsis of each story as it becomes available. If you have a synopsis you think should be included, let me know. In the near future, I plan to start linking each story to those books on the market that include that story.
- Passages of the Dead Quotations from the Necronomicon and other Books of the Damned
- Welcome to Passages of the Dead, a collection of passages from the Necronomicon and other Books of the Damned as found within the stories of the Cthulhu Mythos. At this point there isn't much here, though that will change as time goes on. If you know of a passage that belongs on this page, let me know. I'll post the material and give you credit on the page for the submission. Please, if you do submit an addition, I need the entire passage, the author, and the story the material was presented in.

- An interview with the producer of the movie short Return to Innsmouth, Andrew Migliore. If you attended the NecronomiCon this year you probably viewed the screening of the flick, if not, you can order it through Andrew's company or view it again at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland, Oregon in October. Find out the behind the scenes info from one of the guys who put it all together.
- Is this new volume from Del Rey worth the thirteen bucks you'll fork over? A bit closer to the mark, Cthulhu 2000 comes up just a number or two short of the millennium.
The GalleryAmazing pieces of work you can find on the Internet. Each month I try to include 4-5 pieces from different artists, with links, if available, for you to see more of their work. In addition, featured artists are given their own exhibit, showing their talent to the world.
Now the Gallery comes in two versions. You can still see all the terrifying art in its normal format, but if you are using a browser with JavaScript enabled, the meaning of multimedia experience will take on a whole new meaning. Check it out now!

Do you have a story, piece of art, essay, or article you want to get posted? The NetherReal is made just for this very purpose. Get your material posted here for everyone to see.
Word of caution, though. I am very busy with a R/T job and trying to redesign this pub every month. Please, please, when you send me something, make sure the spelling is right and you use proper grammar. I am willing to make minor grammatical changes to the piece (as all editors do), but pieces which require major overhauls will now be sent back to the author for corrections. Don't take offense if this happens to you, just get with a friend and go through it (that's how I learned).
