  1. Yes, I looked it up myself after leaving my comment. Such a cuddly line. I suppose there’s a pronunciation key for that abysmal language.

  2. I suppose, in these internet days. But I doubt if there’s complete agreement, ’cause I’m pretty sure HPL didn’t worry about pronunciation, and there have probably been different factions since the 30’s, arguing about how his stuff should be pronounced. I mean, some of the characters that used this sort of language were “degenerate eskimoes”, and some were “creole half-breeds”, so you can just imagine the range of accents.

  3. As a kid I would have been drawn to it immediately, but because I was a science nut, not a horror junkie like some kids are growing up to be today.
