haha, serious, I saw Lovecraft's portrait more than a few times while I was dreaming, and I had a weird dream about Beyond the Wall of Sleep, because I read that short story before I finally went to bed...

This is crazy...
 
  • #1,452
Hmm..serously.. this thing has got to do with lovecraft, or else I'll go crazy
 
  • #1,453

  • #1,454
Someone who hade many names is probably dead.. and "it is their creation" is probably referring that we might not be looking for that person with many names, and instead we might be looking for a creation about the person with many names...
 
  • #1,455

  • #1,464
This riddle makes me irritated.. I've been constantly chewing on something since I woke up this morning :)
 
  • #1,465
okay people, you DO NOT need more information about lovecraft. get off google for a while and just think

Spontanius thoughts here is that the relics/the painting is missing.. and that dracula had many names
