I like the Lovecraft vs. Cthulhu mythos distinction. Although being a miserable 3rd-generation Trot, that taste for pylocatabasis is kinda reflex.

It's not often someone stumps me with a word. It pylocatabasis a recent neologism? Do you have a definition at hand?

Anyway, yeah. I loathe what Derleth did to Lovecraft. Sure, he likely saved the stories from oblivion, but his revision of Lovecraft took decades to unravel (and, indeed, it is still being unraveled today).

what's so gross about it?

Even us aging beasts may have our secret sensibilities.
