The Resurrection of Cthuugle

The early 2000s saw the internet stalked by a search engine of great horror. Now, after several years of dormancy, 2008 is seeing the return of Cthuugle. The website, an obvious play on Google, was formerly one of the most efficient and largest databases of Lovecraftiana on the web. If it employs the same search engine technology and rapidly gains new content, it could be again too. Despite its appearance, Cthuugle isn't related to Google in any way, though it mimics the internet juggernaut very well in appearance and function

From even the more obscure Lovecraftian terms, one can summon dozens of useful links to content from all areas of the Cthulhu Mythos. Blogs, art, music, and serious scholarship about the works of H.P. Lovecraft and other writers can be brought to you in a database narrowed to the weird. Further, Cthuugle currently links to almost every story written by Lovecraft as well. Since the search engine presently retains connections to older websites, it's also a great tool for recalling some of the earlier glimpses of Lovecraftiana that touched the internet. Historians of weird literature and technology, take note. Cthuugle just might give us the best glimpses of all into the history of Lovecraft's appearance online.
