Why is Dagon's Mirror significant in Lovecraftian lore?
Welcome back to Creepcast. Today, we are going Lovecraftian, my friends, and I am foaming at the mouth for Dagon's Mirror.
I've tried to get him to read this story for a while now, and he's been like, oh, because I thought it sounds cool. But then he has that intro, so he did think it sounded cool this entire time. He just didn't want to show me enthusiasm for the thing I was interested in. That's fine. That's fine. We're reading it anyway, so it's whatever. But yes, today we are reading Dagon's Mirror.
I do sound like a baby. And I will always sound like a baby. And I won't apologize for it.
Who is Nick Lowe and what are his notable works?
Did you like that? The story was written by Nick Lowe. It's hard to find any information about him because every time I search Nick Lowe, it just brings up stuff related to the songwriter. But it seems that the author, the story came out in 2024, so it's a little over a year old. He has this story. He has one called The House of Dead Gods, which sounds really cool. And another one called The Shambler in the Attic, which also sounds cool.
What is a shambler? A shambling like when you're at the shake, right? You're shambling.
No, no, no. Like it's like a limp kind of like I'm a shamble. Yeah, like a slow, like you can't really walk right, but you're trying to like work over to something. Yeah. So it's like dragging itself around the attic. A guy with gout in the attic. Pretty much. So he has these three stories, and they're all recent. Like the oldest one, The House of Dead Gods, is from November of 2023. So this seems to be an up-and-coming writer. So if this story is cool, you all certainly check him out. And hopefully... Nick continues to make these kinds of things. But first of all, let's check out the story. It's got an 8.7 out of 10 on creepypasta.com, which is pretty good.
Do these even have... Are the rating system on creepypasta.com, is it actually... is this something to take seriously? I guess, you know what I mean?
Well, it depends if it's a famous story. No, because then people will vote it highly or lowly for the meme, right? Like jump the killers, like nine stars or something, right. Or wise, um, to, because it's funny, but if it's not super popular, then typically the ratings are more legitimate because people are rating it in earnest.
Right.
So if you go to like binge around, it's got thousands of 10 stars. Cause people are, you know, being the people, um, But something like this, having 8.7 is probably pretty close, pretty close to the bottom.
I mean, February 28th, 2024, last year upload.
Yeah.
My word.
So pretty, pretty recent, especially like older stories on creepypasta.com too have been around there long enough that people have like voted willy-nilly on stuff. But if it's this recent, most people who are still reading the website mean it, right? I don't think so. We'll see. We'll see. We'll see.
Nick Lowe, is he going to be, you know, is he going to do H.P. Lovecraft? Justice? We'll see.
What's your opinion of Lovecraft and how much stuff of his are you familiar with?
I love Lovecraft. Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love. I know I say Lovecraftian a lot. It's a fucking meme that needs to die on this channel, okay? I like saying it, all right? It's applicable in a lot of ways. I just want to say that, but I love it. Also, I love all of the Arkham House publishings. There's a lot of great stuff from his publish house and stuff. A lot of him and his buddies, those are the guys who made the publisher with him. They published a lot of the stuff even after he died and stuff too, but there's a lot of great stuff from the 50s and 60s and stuff.
I forgot that Arkham House was Lovecraft stuff originally. So I always think of Batman whenever I think of Arkham.
Yeah, I know. Arkham Asylum. I think that's been totally taken over by like Joker memes and stuff. Yes, of course, yeah. The inmates are running the asylum. I'm curious. I'm curious to see if he holds up. Is he going to even... Maybe Nick Lowe himself is a little like H.P. Lovecraft. Maybe he's a racist man who's staying in his mother's house. I don't know.
