Cthulhu’s had a heck of a run.

A Salute to The Mad Poet

As Cthulhu Month winds down, I think it is important to pay respects to one of the Great One’s most important chroniclers, Abdul Alharazed.  It is he, who after all,  penned the profane Necronomicon, that all-important cookbook sought after by any self-respecting cultist.
