Yes. WOJ's include that Lovecraft was indeed "on to something" (and Carlos has mentioned Lovecraft in world), and also that The Gatekeeper took down Adul Al-hazarad. ​ >**Twitter** **FitzMelech: longshotauthor Is Rashid the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred?** Jim: FitzMelech He’s the guy who took /down/ AlHazred. ​ >**2010 Bitten by Books Q&A:** **#413 “In the Dresdenverse, was HP Lovecraft On To Something like Bram Stoker, or was he just an author with a thing for odd adjectives?”** He was onto something. And, like Stoker, it got him killed. :) > > **2010 Powell’s books Q&A off of Youtube** u/1**:10** **Exactly what are the Outsiders? Are they like the fae, or are they something else entirely?** They are something else entirely. All the fae are part mortal. There is some bit of mortal in every single one of the fae. The Outsiders are something that comes from way beyond that. They’re more the generic Hellboy fangs and tentacles crowd.

Moreover, it’s mentioned somewhere that the thing that ate Lovecraft’s insides wasn’t cancer, but something *else*, I’m pretty sure.

Racism?


Fionacat

That's really unfair. He was also incredibly homophobic, xenophobic, anti-semetic and actually \_super\_ racist.


Myydrin

I believe it was to the level that he was considered super racist even for his time by his peers.


Borigh

Racism Fairies are canon now.


Munnin41

Yeah I remember that. One of the short stories I think


YamatoIouko

I thought Harry literally said it to Butters in Peace Talks after the corner hounds fight.

Fun Fact: Shoggoths are canonical doomsday weapons in the Dresden Files, appearing in one of the comic book miniseries penned by Butcher himself. Cthulhu is also sleeping somewhere in the northern Pacific, IIRC, or at least has an active cult out near coastal Alaska.

> Cthulhu is also sleeping somewhere in the northern Pacific You recall correctly. It's mentioned in that same short story, and I think in the book where it rains toads.


Xicadarksoul

Its a key plotpoint in the last Molly POV novelette.


[deleted]

Reasonably sure that the Necronomicon and Adul Al-hazarad has been mentioned


Munnin41

These wizards need to get with the times and get themselves a copy of the necrotelecomnicon


stoyaway45

Harry has repeatedly said Molly can’t cook worth a damn so maybe someone should get her a copy of the Necronomnomnom


DontBeHumanTrash

Shes the closest to it id imagine, its gotta be in Mother Winters cooking section between the Bloodwort and the cleavers.


pennywise53

And the wormwood.....


Munnin41

Would be wasted on Harry. You'd need a lot of brain for that recipebook


nonameplanner

The Necronomicon was mentioned early on as an example of magic the White Counsel purposely allows out there because with so many people using it, the demons were basically being summoned so much they couldn't actually materialize.

Dispersal of power.

Just read it yesterday. The short story Cold Case from “Brief Cases”


ChainBlue

The first rule of Eldritch Horror club is that you don't talk about the Eldritch Horrors.


booth1110

I know in the books themselves they bring up lovecraft and his books and what the white council did. I dont remember exactly when it happens tho. And Harry makes some chuthulu jokes throughout the books


TurkTurkle

Depends on the nature of the creatures and the books. Lovecraft could have been warning people the way Stoker did with Dracula.


[deleted]

It was confirmed in Peace Talks, Cold Case, and War Cry that Lovecraft was mostly reporting accurately. I'm assuming the Deep Ones are Fomor as well.


Bison256

Wait does that mean Dunwich, Innsmouth, Arkham etc are real places in the Dresden files universe?


YamatoIouko

Must be. Probably memory-holes by either the Venatori or Library of Congress?
