[dean7879]

N is mentioned in 'the lurker at the threshold' one of lovecrafts and derleths work

three lobed eye is nyarlathotep, N is now lovecraftian, as much as stephen wants to deny it

[le0jay]

0:48 "three-lobed eye"?

I just noticed the hooks in the monsters mouth, pulling the lips back. That's just gross and creepy. Gonna go read some more Lovecraft and Machen, see if I can't scare myself a little more. Excelsior!

[JorgensZelda]

It actually reminds me a bit of Lovecraft's stuff. Crazy monsters slipping in from another dimension for no reason other than to f*** with humans. YAY for the goat with a thousand young.

@JorgensZelda and do not forget the name of the creature in this story: CTHUN.

Sounds a lot like... Cthulhu, eh?

Stephen King said he was inspired by "The Great God Pan" to made this story. But I'm pretty sure that Lovecraft was also a good inspiration for him.

[Cavstic]

@Wancho07 You're right. Considering that Arthur Machen's "The Great God Pan" was an inspiration for Lovecraft too.

[GimletWeapon]

@JorgensZelda And the 900 blind fiddlers or something like that! :)

[venusboys3]

Cool story but the monster designs are kind of pedestrian...

[disnywhite1]

Nah. The whole things pedestrian. He basically just stole from himself and gave "Jerusalems' Lot" a slight facelift. Silly teenage crap.

[venusboys3]

Actually, it's based on some of the old Arthur Machen stories. King mentioned that in an interview.

Machen actually has a story called N. but his version is closer to some other stuff out of The Three Imposters.

[Archangel3583]

@disnywhite1 Similar to Jerusalem's Lot, aye, but a good read on its own.
