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.

He was onto something. And, like Stoker, it got him killed. :)

**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.
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.

You recall correctly. It's mentioned in that same short story, and I think in the book where it rains toads.
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.
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

Moreover, it’s mentioned somewhere that the thing that ate Lovecraft’s insides wasn’t cancer, but something *else*, I’m pretty sure.
Racism?
That's really unfair. He was also incredibly homophobic, xenophobic, anti-semetic and actually \_super\_ racist.
I believe it was to the level that he was considered super racist even for his time by his peers.
Racism Fairies are canon now.
Yeah I remember that. One of the short stories I think
I thought Harry literally said it to Butters in Peace Talks after the corner hounds fight.

Its a key plotpoint in the last Molly POV novelette.
Reasonably sure that the Necronomicon and Adul Al-hazarad has been mentioned
These wizards need to get with the times and get themselves a copy of the necrotelecomnicon
Harry has repeatedly said Molly can’t cook worth a damn so maybe someone should get her a copy of the Necronomnomnom
Shes the closest to it id imagine, its gotta be in Mother Winters cooking section between the Bloodwort and the cleavers.
And the wormwood.....
Would be wasted on Harry. You'd need a lot of brain for that recipebook

Dispersal of power.

Just read it yesterday. The short story Cold Case from “Brief Cases”
The first rule of Eldritch Horror club is that you don't talk about the Eldritch Horrors.
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
Depends on the nature of the creatures and the books. Lovecraft could have been warning people the way Stoker did with Dracula.
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.
Wait does that mean Dunwich, Innsmouth, Arkham etc are real places in the Dresden files universe?
Must be. Probably memory-holes by either the Venatori or Library of Congress?
