5. A Cthulhu plush. Preferably this (http://www.toymania.com/columns/spotlight/images/tvsupercplushtitle.jpg) one. It saddens me that I've been obsessing about Lovecraft for nigh-on three years now, and still nobody I know has got me one for Christmas. :( 4. Exham Priory. Yes, yes, I know it was a hotbed of cannibalistic debauchery and bizarre cultism, but I find the idea of a secret underground cavern piled with bones oddly beautiful. (Don't ask me why, I've no idea.) 3. After our conversation the other day, I have decided that I need one of these (http://www.miskatonic.net/pickman/mythos/bottle.htm). I'll put it on my shelf in the postgrad tutor office and use it to scare unsuspecting students. Now all I need to do is get myself some craft skills... 2. I think I actually would give away a limb to own an original copy of one of Lovecraft's letter. He wrote hundreds more words of correspondence than fiction, and some of them are fascinating. Those from the period after Sonia had left him, where he details how he was surviving in grinding poverty, are absolutely heartbreaking. Obviously I don't agree with/endorse many of his views, but some of the letters really make me feel for the guy nonetheless. 1. Well, obviously. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necronomicon) ;)
