alliterator: I removede this from the description:
Perhaps some of the reason the wind is taken out of H P Lovecrafts work is that mankind has survived and prospered against other "horrors" that he was certain we couldn't withstand. After two nuclear bombs used in war; not another one was used ever again for war purposes for at least 60 years. (suck it, Nyarlathotep) His writings seemed to indicate that seeing a black person was akin to seeing a alien fish monster that drives you insane, and no, Non-Euclidean mathematics has not driven us all to The Dark Side. The sheer irony is that we've had to actually upgrade the forbidden knowledge in the Cosmic Horror Story to put it back into the "Unknown" category, since Science Marches On and the modern ideas that Lovecraft feared are old news now.
Because...well, because it really doesn't need to be in the description. It adds nothing.
Essex: So um... anybody know where I can find a translation of Haiyore! Nyarko-san? The description piques my interest.
