We all know that
in dark, cold, wet R'lyeh, Cthulhu lies dreaming until the stars are
right. But did you know that before he decided to take his eons long
nap, Cthulhu kept a daily journal? That's right; investigators from
Miskatonic University stumbled across the diary of the Great Old One
himself while chasing -- or being chased by -- insane cultists. Now
you can read the innermost thoughts of that horrifying deity, along
with press releases, editorial notes, and translators' commentary.
Artwork inspired by the journals and even some of Cthulhu's own
doodles are also available for viewing.
Read the story behind the story in press
releases from Miskatonic University, along with other news articles
related to this amazing discovery. You can also read about the MU
scholars working on the Cthulhu's Notebook project.
Because translating Cthulhu's diary in its
entirety will take a significant amount of time, MU is releasing the
translation of each journal entry as it is completed. When
necessary, the translators and editors will include additional notes
to explain specific items within a particular entry.
Scholars working on the Cthulhu's Notebook
project have discovered that, like many of us, Cthulhu doodled in
the margins of his journal while he wrote. Perhaps this long-hidden
creative dream is what led Cthulhu to inspire some of the artwork
seen in this section.
