Pasha, Alneyan, you really should! HPL kicks ***. His works are in fact floating around the internet, as they are probably in the public domain. (Arkham House claims copyright, but lacks the necessary evidence of it being renewed properly.) F. ex. Wikipedia holds most of the works, and googling yields the rest; since the issue is in dispute I probably shouldn't post the direct links.
I like the earlier works more, especially the Temple. The later Cthulhu-mythology stuff is more relevant to the reference, though

I don't even want you anymore, after that rejection! Or do I, and try to hide my hurt feelings by denial? I'll name my Thing that Should not Be after you, though. (Alneyan, the Thing that Should not Be. How poetic!) ...Just jesting, mon ami, naturally.
Speaking of such Things, I notice they lose their life draining attacks if they get a weapon or a shield, and they have a head. Is this supposed to be so? I mean, aren't the tentacles the cause for the life-drain attacks, rather than the hands? And at least the graphic doesn't show a head.
