pen names: At least 13, with John J. Jones, Ward Phillips, Lewis Theobald Jr., & Albert Frederick Willie used mostly for poetry. Not that these do anything...:wink:

I know, but I didn't get anything from that. However, this is the most obvious thing missing...I'll try this for awhile.

UGH..thats not kool!...

i think that we need to figure some other stuff out before we go looking at lovecrafts work because there is just so much stuff, he has a lot of things about dark or darkness...i think 1st we need 2 find out what's missing...but where 2 start?
 
  • #1,400
booooo lovecraft. that picture in 55 threw me so far off...goodness.

so what do we have so far...lovecraft has a lot of names, there is no painting and...a big fat blank?
 
  • #1,401
Oh my gawd Omega! *pounces the trixster*

*runs back and grabs her bowl of ramen* You're lucky I'm hungry!

It is their creation...
Some of his books were "co-authored". I think I'll go ahead and run them all through just in case.

I don't envy the man who figures this one out, goodbye private message inbox...

I ran by Cthulu Mythos a while back ago.. had a collection of authors with works inspired by Lovecraft, I believe...

No wonder Omega has been at a standstill for so long, this one is not leaving much for us to look at, other than a broad array of works and genres...

It is not only me, I have been pm'd by about 6 people who have been stuck on this one for awhile as well.

I'm confident that these clues aren't as obscure as we make them sound, Daniel knows what he's doing...

Ug, why do I have to have work in the morning...

I can feel that I'm getting close now...

Don't get me wrong...I don't want Boxcutter to change anything just yet.

Luckily I have July 4th off...
