The Unraveling of Raymond Hart: or The Despicable Quest
This is the author's original manuscript and notes to The Despicable Quest.  Philip Kenan wrote his magnum opus pretty much continuously from 1968 to 1995.  Now the novel has been published and the author's manuscript remains with Kenan, even though he no longer expands on it.  This is a unique document, a few pages short of 3000.  Kenan keeps it in his study, tied up with twine, in a cardboard box.  In the box, there are also two notebooks of story notes and sketches,several motivational pamphlets, and a large number of scribbled-on napkins, scraps of paper, and old Post-It Notes.

He Without Name
Written and filmed in 1917 by writer/director Ralph W. Routhgate, this film shows the story of a nameless swashbuckler, who rescues a damsel from a cult.  In the film, it is strongly implied that the cultists worship Hastur.  The film is darker and moodier than most silent films.  Also, the film's end is quite tradegic.

Additionally, in two frames, one may see the lower left third of a Yellow Sign, lending the film a subliminal air of horror.  Running time is 34 minutes.  Only eight copies of this film still exist, sealed in film reel cans in movie studio vaults and private collections.

Behold the Dark
Written and filmed in 1918 by writer/director Ralph W. Routhgate, this film focuses upon a group of friends who experience strange dreams and then are drawn into the lost city of Carocsa.  In the film, several items are worth noting. Notable are the gargoyle-like creatures which hover over the dreaming characters, the strange and swirling dancers seen in the dreams and later in Carcosa, and the representation of the Lake of Hali in miniture using dry ice.   The film is even darker and moodier than He Without Name.  The film ends with murder and suicide, and the one surviving character residing in a madhouse.

Like the earlier film, in two frames a portion of a Yellow Sign is seen, in this case the lower left two-thirds.  The film is highly disturbing, haunting dreams for quite some time after viewing. Running time is 57 minutes.  Three copies of this film still remain, as the studio burned most of them after the 1919 tradegy at the filming of The Lord of the Yellow Sign. Two of these copies are kept in the Smithsonian storage archives.  The remaining copy is property of Sam M. Brianson, a wealthy executive at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles.

Untitled
A rather plain book, fairly small, published by Derby & Son of Arkham, Mass., and written by Prof. Felix Aubrey of Miskatonic University, this volume is a fictional work.  Compiling the New England surrounding ghouls, it compiles these and a selection of relavent short stories, and extrapolates the anatomy of the ghoul to a good level of accuracy.

Possessing this book when encountering ghouls, leads to the possibility that the ghouls will take grave offend (50% chance).  Should this occur, the ghouls will retaliate by murdering at least one of the offender's loved ones.
