I've always heard that the French appreciated Lovecraft more than
Anglophones ever did (the "Jerry Lewis Effect" :) -- perhaps he
improves in translation.
Wouldn't it be fun to collect up all the bits of monster-speech and
cultist-speech in Lovecraft ("Y'ha n'thlei! Cthulhu ftagn!" and all
that) in Lovecraft's works and interpolate a conlang from them?
