Of the dreamland. Web-footed ghoulish beings that are spawned in dead cities, and frequent the graveyards of dreamland. [HPL Kadath (online text) 338]
In the dreamlands, a group of dark skinned, strange people who traveled in through Ulthar a caravan of wagons. Their wagons were painted with creatures who appeared human, but with the heads of cats, hawks, rams, and lions. The leader of the caravan wore a headdress with a disk between two horns. When their child Menes prayed to their gods for vengeance over the loss of a kitten, figures of hybrid creatures crowned with horn-flanked discs appeared in the clouds. After the cat-murdering cotter and his wife were slain by the town's cats, singular beetles were found crawling near their skeletons. [HPL Cats (online text)]
The wanderers' dark skin and nomadic lifetyle are reminiscent of the Romani people (formerly known as gypsies) in the waking world. Their animal-headed deities, though not named, seem reminiscent of the Egyptian gods. The crowns with disks flanked by horns are reminiscent of Egyptian deities such as Hathor and Isis. The beetles might also be scarabs, which were sacred to the Egyptians. (Note the the Romani people were long thought to have originated in Egypt, though they are now known to have originated in India.)

A book possessed by Harley Warren, which inspired his fatal expedition beneath a cemetery near Big Cypress Swamp. The book came to Warren from India a month before the expedition. The fiend-inspired volume was written in characters that Randolph Carter did not recognize; and it appears that Carter would have recognized Arabic characters. Thus, we can infer that the book was not in Arabic or more familiar European languages, and so was not the Necronomicon. Warren carried the book in his pocket when he ventured underground, never to be seen again. [Statement (online text)]

"Weird Tales is an American fantasy and horror fiction pulp magazine founded by J. C. Henneberger and J. M. Lansinger in late 1922. The first issue, dated March 1923, appeared on newsstands February 18. The first editor, Edwin Baird, printed early work by H. P. Lovecraft, Seabury Quinn, and Clark Ashton Smith, all of whom would go on to be popular writers, but within a year the magazine was in financial trouble. Henneberger sold his interest in the publisher, Rural Publishing Corporation, to Lansinger and refinanced Weird Tales, with Farnsworth Wright as the new editor. The first issue under Wright's control was dated November 1924. The magazine was more successful under Wright, and despite occasional financial setbacks it prospered over the next fifteen years. Under Wright's control the magazine lived up to its subtitle, 'The Unique Magazine', and published a wide range of unusual fiction. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos stories first appeared in Weird Tales, starting with 'The Call of Cthulhu' in 1928. These were well-received, and a group of writers associated with Lovecraft wrote other stories set in the same milieu. Robert E. Howard was a regular contributor, and published several of his Conan the Barbarian stories in the magazine, and Seabury Quinn's series of stories about Jules de Grandin, a detective who specialized in cases involving the supernatural, was very popular with the readers. Other well-liked authors included Nictzin Dyalhis, E. Hoffmann Price, Robert Bloch, and H. Warner Munn. . . . The magazine is regarded by historians of fantasy and science fiction as a legend in the field, with Robert Weinberg, author of a history of the magazine, considering it 'the most important and influential of all fantasy magazines'." [Weird Tales, Wikipedia]

HPL Dunwich (online text) 158, 167-168, 174-175, 180-181, 188, 194-196: The folk of the Dunwich area believe that whippoorwills "are psychopomps lying in wait for the souls of the dying, and that they time their eerie cries in unison with the sufferer’s struggling breath. If they can catch the fleeing soul when it leaves the body, they instantly flutter away chittering in daemoniac laughter; but if they fail, they subside gradually into a disappointed silence." When Old Whateley noticed a growing number of whippoorwills under his window at night, whistling in tune with this breathing, he knew his time had almost come. He said that if they were to get his soul, they would keep singing and laughing until the break of day; but if they were to fail, they would quiet down. During his last hours, the whippoorwills kept time with his breaths, but subsided into silence after he died. After Lavinia Whateley died, the whippoorwills continued calling until dawn, apparently indicating that they had captured her soul. The whippoorwills began calling again as Wilbur Whateley lay dying, but they ceased at his death, and then all fled suddenly, as if frightened by the soul that they had tried to capture. The whippoorwills called again when Wilbur Whateley's brother burst forth from the Whateley house, and again shortly before the Fryes were killed. The whippoorwills called even in the middle of the day from the hollow where Wilbur's brother lurked. There was a piping of unnumbered whippoorwills in the hours leading up to the death of the creature. While the men from Arkham were reciting the spell against the creature, the whippoorwills were piping wildly, in an irregular rhythm unlike that of the ritual. The bodies of dead whippoorwills littered field and forest after the creature's death, apparently having perished from encountering the creature's soul.
AWD Gable (online text) 209: Wilbur Akeley's diary recorded his looking through the gable window and viewing a scene, possibly from the Wilbraham area, and hearing whippoorwills.
Sandwin 109: The whippoorwills were calling when David arrived at Sandwin House, apparently anticipating the death of Asa Sandwin. David recalled the superstition that "at the approach of death, the whippoorwills, in the service of evil, called for the soul of the dying."
Wentworth 176-178: The whippoorwills began calling shortly before the late Nahum Wentworth arrived to wreak vengeance on Amos Stark. The latter thought they were calling for the soul of Clem Whateley, who was dying. After Stark's death, the whippoorwills continued crying.
Whippoorwills 39, (40), 41-42, 48-50, 52, 55-57, 59-60, 62, 64-65,
67, 70-71: A loud chorus of whippoorwills called starting a half hour after sunset when Dan Harrop moved into his missing cousin Abel Harrop's house in Harrop's Pocket. Dan expected the birds to stop after an hour and resume just before dawn, but instead they continued all night. The neighbors concluded that the whippoorwills were waiting to catch a soul, and someone was going to die soon. The birds were abnormally large, 12 to 14 inches long instead of the usual 10 inches. When Dan heard voices chanting to Yog-Sothoth, the whippoorwills seemed to respond. Even in daytime, the hills were alive with whippoorwills, and they were ten times as numerous on the slope facing into Harrop’s Pocket. The whippoorwills called for the souls of Benjy Wheeler and Sister Hough and Annie Begbie. Dan attacked the massed whippoorwills with a cudgel and succeeded in killing many. The whippoorwills ceased calling when Amos Whateley set Harrop's house on fire. When Dan dreamed of an alien planet with servants of the Ancient Ones, the voices of the whippoorwills continued in his dream. When Hester Hutchins heard the whippoorwills calling again, she said it meant "they’s to be more souls a-comin’ to them whippoorwills afore the moon changes onct more." This was three days after the start of a full moon, so perhaps she meant that deaths would occur before the moon started to wane. The whippoorwills were all around, crying and screaming, when Dan was found crouching beside the body of poor Amelia Hutchins, tearing at her throat. Dan claimed that he had killed no one, but the murders were actually done by the whippoorwills. Throughout these events, it is possible the whippoorwills were acting as allies of Them from Outside (invisible beings possibly related to Yog-Sothoth) or perhaps were hoping to eat leftover souls from Dan's murders. They evidently did not seek Dan's death, since they indirectly alerted him when the house was set afire.
FL Terror2 309-310: A telegram from Danforth stated that after Lovecraft died, the whippoorwills did not sing. Albert Wilmarth said that the whippoorwills didn't get Wilbur Whateley or his big brother, either.

Witch-Cult in Western Europe, The
By Margaret Murray. "A 1921 anthropological book by Margaret Murray, published at the height of the success of Frazer's Golden Bough. Certain university circles subsequently celebrated Margaret Murray as the expert on western witchcraft, though her theories were widely discredited... Murray's theory, also known as the witch-cult hypothesis, suggests that the accusations made towards 'witches' in Europe were in fact based on a real, though clandestine, pagan religion that worshiped a horned god." [The Witch-Cult in Western Europe, Wikipedia, retrieved 07/04/2024] The online text is available at Project Gutenburg. Unfortunately, the work includes long passages in untranslated foreign languages. A more readable exposition of her theory is The God of the Witches (1933).

"A book by Immanuel Velikovsky published in 1950. The book postulates that around the 15th century BC, the planet Venus was ejected from Jupiter as a comet or comet-like object and passed near Earth (an actual collision is not mentioned). The object allegedly changed Earth's orbit and axis, causing innumerable catastrophes that are mentioned in early mythologies and religions from around the world. The book has been heavily criticized as a work of pseudoscience and catastrophism, and many of its claims are completely rejected by the established scientific community . . ." [Worlds in Collision, Wikipedia]
Horvath Blayne referred to this book indirectly when he mentioned a theory concerning erratic conduct on the part of the planet Venus. Laban Shrewsbury dismissed the idea as entertaining but pure nonsense, and stated that the concept of Venus as a one-time comet can be disproved scientifically. [AWD Island]

HH Guardian (narrator) (286-287), 288, (289-304): A collector who searched second hand bookstores for rare books of the occult. He had a copy of the 1909 edition of Nameless Cults and he wanted to read the Necronomicon. He encountered a tiny man who tried to trick him into reading the Book, and thus becoming its new guardian. But he stopped reading after the Preface and evaded the trap. Later, he decided that he no longer wanted to read the Necronomicon.
