Subject: Who is familiar with this entity?
Warnings: The worst book club ever, talk of eldritch horrors, potential poking at the 4th wall for Sherlock

I made the purchase of ‘Encyclopedia Necronomica’ earlier but had not the opportunity to make a study of it until now. Having done so, I must ask: who is familiar with the entity pictured here? What do you know?

I shall include photographs from the book and of my sketches in reference to imagery related to my world.

Furthermore, if anyone else wishes to reference or compare this book with entities encountered recently, I am at your disposal.

S.H.

[ Sherlock had some sense of mind to not study this particular book while feverish and ill. He should be praised for that, honestly, because he spotted something frightening familiar when he finally did.

Wait a minute, when did Arthur Conan Doyle write about Holmes going up against Cthulhu? ]

[ photograph of a book page which claims there are Cthulhu-type entities out there that are almost squid-like but impossible to say without more research ]



[ A sketch of the painting, including the frame ]



[ A sketch of only the Cthulhu statue (no Sherlock) ]

[ A sketch pulled further back of a nondescript figure sinking in water with Cthulhu looking up at them from deeper below. ]

I would hope most people would, but such cruelty exists when it means their own gain.

I do not know if the book is available any longer. It seemed to be a limited run, but I am willing to allow others to read my copy if they wish to compare the entries.

This is more a reference book. I have seen an occult text which contained the needed rituals and directions within. That is not what this is.

Even a reference could be dangerous, if there is enough to be extrapolated from...

...Forgive me. I've never seen a god that looks anything so...cephalopod-esque, but I know very well how badly things can go when man tries to call forth the divine themselves. I'm concerned what that could do, in a world as unstable as this one.

I would happily live never seeing the image of this god again. Unfortunately, I cannot rid him from my mind so easily.

[ As one of the things which haunts his nightmares, he can only rid it with the help of many dream enchanted plushies or a festival that brings forth other dreams. ]

Given that the Great Lord sleeps under the waters, such a god could be anywhere if he is indeed here.
