* The Necronomicon and ''The King in Yellow'' exist in the [[Whateley Universe]], as does The First Book of the Kellith. Unfortunately for the future of said universe, that particular book was actually published as a horror novel, and it was a best seller.
* From ''[[SCP Foundation]]'':
**[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-701| SCP 701], a play called ''The Hanged King's Tragedy'' is another that takes a lot of inspiration from ''[[The King in Yellow]]''. Reading the script is safe; it even seems kind of boring
** SCP 001 (Jonathan Ball's Proposal) seems to be a set of classified documents, but every time anyone reads them, a previously-unknown SCP is identified. Whether the documents are simply informing the Foundation of these abnormalities or actually creating them remains unknown.
** [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3512 SCP-3512], or rather, SCP-3512-2, the book which causes the condition, ''The More You Know, a Pick Up Artist’s Bible''. (Before clicking the link, be warned, this is disturbing even for SCP Foundation.) This book, in effect, details how to make a woman an obedient [[Sex Slave]]. Initially, the book seems like something a misogynist would write, starting with a forward by [[Snoop Dogg]] (the Foundation questioned him; he claimed to know nothing about it), and for the first 11 chapters, seems like any other controversial book that dehumanizes and objectifies women. However, the next 12 chapters (all of which are labeled “Chapter 12”) become increasingly darker. They include esoteric techniques, geometric proofs, dream interpretation, self-surgery techniques, symbolism in architecture, and anomalous rituals. The true “eldritch lore” part is the 18th chapter, which details how to create a [[Our Homunculi Are Different|sort of homunculus]] made of human fat and human fingers (the latter donated by whoever builds the homunculus and possibly members of his family), which is what is used to dominate and enslave a woman you desire, although the victim eventually dies after succumbing to madness. Worst of all, the book’s writer - and likely, many of the men who buy it - is a member of some sort of cult that seems tied to [[Religion of Evil|Fifthism]], whose lair is near a whole river of human fat. The leader of this cult being a monstrosity who seems to have grafted the donated fingers to himself.
