a Cthulhu carol: it’s beginning to look a lot like fishmen

Yes, it’s time for another installment of raincoaster’s multiculti holiday multimedia…ums. Today we’re featuring “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fishmen” from the HP Lovecraft Historical Society, who broke my heart when their free downloadable Miskatonic diploma wouldn’t bloody well download, but I’m SO OVER THAT!

It’s beginning to look a lot like fish-men
Everywhere I go;
From the minute I got to town
And started to look around
I thought these ill-bred people’s gillslits showed.
I’m beginning to hear a lot of fish-men
Right outside my door,
As I try to escape in fright
To the moonlit Innsmouth night
I can hear some more.

They speak with guttural croaks and to hear them provokes
A profound desire to flee
Their eyes never blink and quite frankly they stink
Like a carcass washed up from the sea.

I wish I’d paid attention to that crazy drunken man.
He tried to warn me all about old Marsh’s Deep One clan.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Fish-men
Everywhere I go;
They can dynamite Devil Reef,
but that’ll bring no relief,
Y’ha N’thlei is deeper than they know.
I’ll continue to see a lot of fish-men
That I guarantee.
For the fish-man I really fear
is the one who’s in the mirror
And he looks like me.
He looks just like me.

  1. [...] Raincoaster has done it again. Well, I was looking for this; but I was waylaid by this, one of the most touching Christmas stories I’ve ever read, lovingly reproduced from the enormous Raincoaster Christmas Library. If, like me, you have a bone to pick with the holiday season, these words might be just the star you need to self-orientate your way out of the mall by way of Arabia and the cold wastes of eastern Russia.
