Niemand, der ihm lauscht, kann ihn je vergessen: "Nyarlathotep" – das schleichende Chaos. Wer oder was ist "Nyarlathotep"? Ein Künstler, ein Wissenschaftler, ein Prophet... ? Nur eins ist gewiss: Wo der Ägypter auftritt, pflanzt er kosmische Furcht in die Hirne der Menschen. Was gestern noch Ahnung war, ist heute schreckliche Gewissheit. Wohin führt der Weg der Menschheit? Vom Licht ins Dunkel, aus der Stadt in die Wildnis, vorbei an den Ruinen unserer Zivilisation... mitten hinein ins Herz des Chaos.

Och finns det en risk att de kommer att tugga ut hans ögon, hans hals och gnaga av köttet från hans ben om han somnar?

All’angolo nord est di Bridge Street ed Elizabeth Avenue, si trova una casa terribilmente vecchia, un luogo infernale, con una superficie nerastra, non verniciata, il tetto ripido in maniera innaturale e una scala esterna che conduce al secondo piano, soffocata da un groviglio di edera talmente fitta, che non si riesce nemmeno a descriverne la forma…

In my childhood the shunned house was vacant, with barren, gnarled and terrible old trees, long, queerly pale grass and nightmarishly misshapen weeds in the high terraced yard where birds never lingered. We boys used to overrun the place, and I can still recall my youthful terror not only at the morbid strangeness of this sinister vegetation, but at the eldritch atmosphere and odor of the dilapidated house, whose unlocked front door was often entered in quest of shudders.
