* GratuitousGerman: The ''Unausprechlichen Kulten''. According to S T Joshi, a leading Lovecraft authority and who provides the annotations for Lovecraft's stories for the Penguin Classics editions, it's also ''wrong'' German. It should be "Die Unausprechlich Kulten". Odd, since Lovecraft spoke German. And it's still wrong: The correct form would be either "Unaussprechliche Kulte", "Die unaussprechlichen Kulte" or "Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten" (note the capitalization).

And it's still wrong: The correct form English ''Nameless Cults'' before it was decided to switch to German to match its fictional author Von Junzt. This title is grammatically off, because the nominative case would be either "Unaussprechliche Kulte", "Die unaussprechlichen Kulte" or "Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten" (note ''Unaussprechliche Kulte'', whereas the capitalization).title as-is is the dative case and creates the impression that a preposition is missing.
