Africa’s Dark Sects, Cthulhu Mythos Book

  • English, by Nigel Blackwell, 1920. Sextodecimo, blue pasteboard covers with marbled endpapers and blue-stained page edges

  • Written by explorer Nigel Blackwell during his travels across Africa, the book is an odd mix of travelogue and exposé of the ritual practices of a variety of African cults. Although the notes of his travels were obviously turned into a book, no publisher is listed on the title page.

  • Recovered from the basement of the JuJu House

  • Rebecca Shosenburg tried to read it and had a psychotic episode.

  • Bessie Simons started studying it on 1 February 1925.
    – On 29 March 1925, after being attacked by the [Fog Monster] at the Limehouse, she jumped into the Thames and lost consciousness. When she woke up, the book was gone. Later she had a dream/vision that the book was taken from her by Gavigan Edward.
