The Genealogy of Cthulhu

by August Moldenhauer

The Genealogy of Cthulhu, the first volume of the series 'The Kathu Journals out of Lovecraft's Providence', begins with the genealogy of Lovecraft’s Dream Cycle under the manuscript author’s hermenuetical gaze. The work is a genealogy into the philosophical and literary origins through analysis of the text of the notebooks, which begins as a narrative in ancient texts but falls into madness with its speculations on the possibility of the horrors in fiction of H.P. Lovecraft, horrors which the notebooks’ author makes claims to suggest are in fact real. The Things we hear are the sounds of the dead dreaming of Cthulhu, or the gibbering mouths of Shub-Nigguroth. Things that validate the unknowable and ineffable mysteries from beyond. Things that came to Lovecraft as nightmares and things that inspired his fiction. Things that, in the end, should not be. The Genealogy of Cthulhu is by August Moldenhauer and published by nereusmedia.
