Talk:Fungi from Yuggoth
This work was legally published within the United States (or the United Nations Headquarters in New York subject to Section 7 of the United States Headquarters Agreement) before 1964, and the copyright of this work was assigned by the author to another party. That assignee renewed the copyright at the appropriate time, in the assignee's own name, after the death of the author. However, this work is in the public domain in the United States because the renewal copyright was never vested in the assignees who made the copyright renewal application. The author must be alive at the start of the copyright renewal term for the author's prior assignments to vest. If, however, the author dies before vesting of the renewal copyright, the party to whom the renewal-copyright interest was conveyed loses the entitlement to that interest. Therefore, the copyright of this work is not valid.
This work may be in the public domain in countries and areas with longer native copyright terms that apply the rule of the shorter term to foreign works.

Error in Nyarlathotep, probably due to misprint edit
The last two lines of Nyarlathotep should be "Then, crushing what he chanced to mould in play, The idiot Chaos blew Earth's dust away."
The PDF does indeed leave out "to mould", but this makes the scansion wrong - the penultimate line is two syllables too short. I think the PDF contains misprints of the original poem and the text from before @Chrisguise's revision at 10.58 on 2nd January 2023 was the correct text. Can we get a second source for this book? @Cneubauer, do you still have the original source you typed this up from?
There may be other misprints in the PDF. Someone should compare the two texts and find the differences. 92.238.133.89 01:17, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
