These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: The Trail Of Cthulhu
Alternate Character Interpretation: Meta-Example. This book was Derleth's own Alternate Character Interpretation of the Great Old Ones, who he reinterpreted as the fallen angels of The Bible. Granted, this is solely the speculation of some of the characters. Derleth himself doesn't say whether the characters are right or whether they are way off the mark.
