Description
Black Yuggoth, rolling endlessly on the Rim - outermost world of the Solar System, or would be if it hadn't been demoted recently (wont the Fungi be pissed).First experiments with Apophysis and LunarCell, and since it works so well as a wallpaper I'll do more

XXXVI. Continuity
There is in certain ancient things a trace
Of some dim essenceβmore than form or weight;
A tenuous aether, indeterminate,
Yet linked with all the laws of time and space.
A faint, veiled sign of continuities
That outward eyes can never quite descry;
Of locked dimensions harbouring years gone by,
And out of reach except for hidden keys.

It moves me most when slanting sunbeams glow
On old farm buildings set against a hill,
And paint with life the shapes which linger still
From centuries less a dream than this we know.
In that strange light I feel I am not far
From the fixt mass whose sides the ages are."

If I recall correctly, he wrote the entire Yuggoth cycle of poems in less than a month.

In my fan-fic, "the Shining Pyramid" my heroine-villainess Sephira, using her unbounded power, throws Pluto right into Neptune !! One can only guess at the result !

Lovecraft didn't describe concrete concepts of Yuggoth outside of "Whisperer in Darkness". There's also "more distant Shaggai" and "Yaddith" both long-destroyed, the former by something that crawled over the edge of the universe and the latter by Doels, worm horrors that strip-mine whole planets !

*nods* What about the Zone of Faveolate Collossi?

Ramsey Campbell tossed in a LOT of concepts without explaining them ,such as this Zone of Faveolate Collossi and the Maze of 7777 Crystal Frames, as well as the Crystallizers of Dream that their owners must not talk about...
Two stories, THE RETURN OF THE WITCH and THE WILL OF STANLEY BLOKE are mythos tales, tho the connections are deliberately oblique and veiled. MY favorite tale is THE HORROR FROM THE BRIDGE.
For some reason, the book INHABITANT OF THE LAKE omitted THE CHURCH IN HIGH STREET. There were several stories that didn't get into it as well: THE FACE IN THE DESERT, THE MADNESS IN THE VAULTS (2 versions, both set on Tond)and the repulsive THE STONE ON THE ISLAND .

I found DEMONS BY DAYLIGHT a disappointment. Only one story, the Franklyn Paragraphs, was mythos. The others were hard to read, really ! I never even ordered HEIGHT OF THE SCREAM. I think that after that, Campbell only wrote a mythos story when he was urged to for a commission.
I myself have decided to pay Lovecraft the top honor -by NOT writing any mythos tales. I'd never capture his essense -nobody after his time ever did ...
