Thirteen Ways to Look at Neptune
I. In many of his stories, HP Lovecraft would mention Neptune and the species of creature that inhabited it. In “The Whisperer in Darkness,” Neptune is referred to as “Yaksh” and is inhabited by mysterious beings. No one quite knows what these creatures look like precisely, only that it was the brain of one of these creatures, combined with “Three humans” and “six fungoid beings who can’t navigate space corporeally” that comprised the contents of the Mi-go’s brain cylinder. Later, in “Through the Gates of the Silver Key,” the creatures of Neptune are described as “hellish white fungi.”
