Mythos[]
The Book of Azathoth first appeared in the story The Dreams in the Witch-House (H.P. Lovecraft, 1932).
The Book of Azathoth is a volume carried by some forms of Nyarlathotep. Anyone who enters the service of the Outer Gods must sign the Book with their blood. It may possibly be the book spoken of by the victims of the witchcraft trials; if so, it would explain only a few of these volumes were ever found. The Book of Azathoth also contains material in parody of Scripture, praising the Outer Gods and denigrating Christianity.[1]
