I'm not going to lie, it's probably the closest anyone's come to "true" Lovecraftian storytelling and creatures that I've found.

Somewhere I smell a great photo essay or two about it...Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13600990166210022027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218056158425134780.post-87953332277059459052009-10-30T10:10:33.103-04:002009-10-30T10:10:33.103-04:00Thanks for reading!

A god who comes in the form of a cloud to the Israelites, and urges the destruction of the Midianites for no apparent reason is no different than any other "god" that Lovecraft wrote about. Anything beyond the human scope of perception is no doubt going to be considered a god by us as we are, for all our many discoveries, still very Rev.
