"Azathoth" is the beginning of an incomplete novel written by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft.[1] It was written in June 1922, and published as a fragment in the journal Leaves in 1938, after Lovecraft's death.[2] It is the first piece of fiction to mention the fictional being Azathoth, one of the major entities in Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, though the entity only appears in the title.
