Song of Cthulhu

Overview

Expedition register ME-1924-P93/3491 — cross-index under slug `song-of-cthulhu`.

In the marginalia of the Latin Necronomicon the name Song of Cthulhu appears beside tides, eclipses, or breeding cycles we cannot reproduce in laboratory glass.

No sober cartographer places Song of Cthulhu on a map mortals may buy; nevertheless, deeds, drownings, and dreams cluster where the name is whispered.

The Necronomicon is quoted too often as gossip; when a dossier cites Alhazred, demand the edition and the translator. Our English paraphrases deliberately blunt the lines that injure readers who memorise instead of understand.

What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.

Description

Sound, when recorded, has been described as wet leather, glass harmonics, or bees inside a skull; analysts note infrasound may explain some, not all.

The thing called Song of Cthulhu left no consistent footprint; it left expectations broken in the nervous system.

Several accounts mention a pressure change before sighting, as though the air admitted something larger than the room.

Field Observations

If dreams arrive with the weight of memory for places never visited, terminate contact.

Do not engage alone; two witnesses minimum, three preferred if the name was spoken aloud.

If the name appears in dreams three nights running, withdraw from the case and request audit.
