  • Khalk'ru is a fictional extra-dimensional creature created by Abraham Merritt for his novel Dwellers in the Mirage.
    This dark octopoid horror is worshiped as a god by the Uighur people who inhabit the Gobi Desert, and whose ancestors migrated to both Europe (giving rise to the Norse people and their legends of the Kraken) and to Alaska, where they settled within a hidden warm valley, unknown to the outside world.
    ST Joshi in HP Lovecraft Encyclopedia, suggests that Khalk'ru, as an extra-dimensional octopus demon, may be an analogue to Cthulhu.

    Once again, Thank You for digging up these almost forgotten Tales and letting them get the exposure NOW that they never got them!

    Is it just me, or is the audio randomly skipping? To the point I can't listen any longer. Otherwise, it is great.

    • @HArryvajonas
      @HArryvajonas Před 3 měsíci +1

      @cosmicandbodyhorror It is happening throughout the whole thing. I started listening yesterday and again today. Same problem. Sounds like skipping on a Cd. As if it is skipping several words at a time. Otherwise, it is a great reading and story.

    I need a cthlulu church... where can I find one? This world is all ready insane so really what could it hurt. I will become a chu'thuul Depah'paluthuleth and approach everyday before the first of forever, I will tell the truth about the coming of sanity of denying it and the truth of the consuming madness of the true world of delusions of ourself and all the lies created by sentience it self.

    W00t! A long one, nice! Abraham Merritt is a pretty good author. I've read two of his short stories, but had no idea he wrote a mythos tale.
    I shall digest this one during my mandatory insomnia tonight.
    Thank you, CABH!

    I would be your biggest fan if you just read these stories yourself. Please be brave and give it a shot. You get some really rare stories that no one else on CZcams has. Well i really want to hear this story but I'm going to not listen because of the ai voice.
