Synopsis

"Azathoth" is the beginning of an incomplete novel written by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft. It was written in June 1922, and published as a fragment in the journal Leaves in 1938, after Lovecraft's death. It is the first piece of fiction to mention the fictional being Azathoth, one of the major entities in Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, though the entity only appears in the title.
