* ''The Music of Erich Zann''—A student, seeking cheap accommodation, takes a room underneath a strange, mute cellist who plays unnatural music late into the night. He considered this one of his best stories, as he managed to avoid his usual tactic of explaining everything (read: [[Nothing Is Scarier|the tiniest explanation of anything is not even alluded to]]).
** Fans often assume he's trying to appease Azathoth, though, since The Demon Sultan is known to enjoy spooky music.
* And most terrifyingly of all, ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130928072106/http://www.psy-q.ch/lovecraft/html/catsdogs.htm Cats and Dogs]'', an essay on [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|why cats are better than dogs.]]
** Well, aren't they? "''You'' threw the stick, you can get it yourself!"
* Apart from these, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society and other fan groups have produced ''[[Shoggoth on the Roof|A Shoggoth on the Roof]]'', a musical based on the Cthulhu mythos (the initial score was that of ''Fiddler on the Roof'', but it was modified after lawsuits). Considering Lovecraft's aforementioned anti-Semitic leanings, this is actually rather hilarious.
