 		[INFO(?)] Neil Gaiman Discusses H.P. Lovecraft Stories
Three YouTube Videos
I found these interesting, and thought that many here might too.
Also, it's an odd coincidence that these are recent additions to YT, having just been posted in the past 24 hours.

Enjoy!

 		BA Feline and HP Lovecraft
Not sure where to put this but here goes.

As BA feline started with HP Lovecraft I don't think she will just stick to Lovecraft but the whole Cthulhu Mythos

In "The Call of Cthulhu" , Lovecraft wrote: "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."

I gather that most things by her are dream based (Please correct me if I'm wrong).

Dreamland are a fictional place in Dream Cycle that can be connected with Cthulhu. As the Great Ones rule dreamland.
Cats
In the The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath by H. P. Lovecraft, cats are intelligent and organized in a paramilitary tribal system. They communicate in a complex language that can be understood and spoken by dreamers.

In the call of Cthulhu, Cthulhu is one of the Great Ones his cult being centred in Arabia
In At the Mountains of Madness the great ones are a species of extraterrestrial beings.
But at the University of Michigan – Center for the study of complex systems state:-
We conclude that Lovecraft was misinformed --- his informants do not appear to have been the most stable individuals --- and that Cthulhu did not come from the stars, it will go to them. Cthulhu is a starship.

Necronomicon, by H. P. Lovecraft


The Return of the Old Ones
Then shal They return & on this great Return'g shal ye Great Cthulhu be fre'd from R'lyeh beneath ye Sea & Him Who Is Not To Be Nam'd shal come from His City which is Carcosa near ye Lake of Hali, & Shub-Niggurath shal come forth & mulitiply in his Hideousness, & Nyarlathotep shal carry ye word to all the Gr. Old Ones & their Minions, & Cthugha shal lay His Hand upon all that oppose Him & Destroy, & ye blind idiot, ye noxious Azathoth shal arise from ye middle of ye World where all is Chaos & Destruction where He hath bubbl'd & blasphem'd at Ye centre which is of All Things, which is to say Infinity, & Yog-Sothoth, who is ye All-in-One & One-in-All, shal bring his globes, & Ithaqua shal walk again, & from ye black-litt'n caverns within ye Earth shal come Tsathoggua, & togeth'r shal take possession of Earth and all things that live upon it, & shal prepare to do battle with ye Elder Gods when ye Lord of ye Great Abyss is apprised of their return'g & shal come with His Brothers to disperse ye Evill.
