http://www.mcsweeneys.net/links/monologues/10necron.htmlKind of a random McSweeney's entry (most of them are) but is wry chuckle worthy in places and makes the possible kick off point for a tongue-in-check Trails of Cthulhu pulp adventure, I suppose. It's like a long form New Yorker cartoon, almost, drawn with non-Euclidean geometry (then again, how many aren't drawn with non-Euclidean geometry, amirite?)
An excerpt:
Fortunately, I was able to drop by the Library of Congress on my way here and grab a pretty thick book, so I figure I'll just read from that. And if anyone's interested—not that it matters—the title of the book is The Necronomicon. I know, I know, it sounds pretty dry, but that's sort of the point. Anyway, let's get this filibuster started.
Oh, wow, the inside cover says, "translated from the original Arabic." Yikes, I didn't know that. Hopefully it's not a religious text, right? Just joking (not really). Okay, okay, here we go.
Ehemm.
That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with this verse even death may die.
Well that's a little grim, maybe—hey, did anybody just hear that? It was kind of like a subterranean groan
