Actually, Hastur is an even older creation by the American writer and journalist Ambrose Bierce (whom I also mention in Dream Whisperer). Chambers collected in The King in Yellow, published in 1895. For instance, Hastur, the Yellow Sign, and Carcosa all featured in short stories by Robert W. Lovecraft didn’t mind them borrowing from his work and even encouraged these authors to add to his Cthulhu Mythos, just as he gladly lifted characters from their and other writers’ work. Howard thus became a member of what is called the Lovecraft Circle together with other authors such as Clark Ashton Smith, August Derleth, and Hoffmann Price. Both Lovecraft and Howard were published in the Weird Tales pulp magazine, and they were pen pals since 1930. Howard is best known as the creator of Conan the Barbarian and father of the ‘Sword and Sorcery’ subgenre in Fantasy. Howard - Children of the Night and The Black Stone, both dating from 1931. They made their first appearances in two stories by Robert E. It may come as a surprise to some that neither Von Junzt nor his book were created by Lovecraft himself.

Both titles - to the fans’ chagrin - are just as fictitious as Von Junzt and Abdul Alhazred themselves. The book Unaussprechlichen Kulten gained an importance in the Cthulhu Mythos that is only exceeded by Abdul Alhazred’s Necronomicon. Lovecraft mentioned the title in several short stories: The Dreams in the Witch House, The Thing on the Doorstep, The Shadow Out of Time, and The Haunter of the Dark. Lovecraft fans are quite familiar both with the character of Von Junzt and his terrible book. He also mentions Von Junzt mysteriously died in his Düsseldorf flat in 1840 while the room was locked from the inside.

In Dream Whisperer, Fleming uses the book to identify the tentacles painted on a flagstone in Zoetevoorde’s church with images seen by the German professor in faraway locations like Borneo, Outer-Mongolia, and Bolivia. The book is also known as Nameless Cults or the Black Book.

Von Junzt is credited with writing a book about pre-human cults named Unaussprechlichen Kulten. In Dream Whisperer, the Countess von Corvey is a pupil of the anthropologist Professor Friedrich Wilhelm von Junzt.
