"The Wonderful Musician" is a Lovecraftian short story by British author William Meikle.
Synopsis
A man uses modern technology in an effort to tune in to the frequency of the cosmos. In the process he opens a gate and allows something through, something which begins to repopulate the Earth.
Characters
- Rickman, a man on a mission to connect to the music he believes underlies all of existence.
Behind the Mythos
Despite lacking any direct reference to the works of H. P. Lovecraft or the greater Cthulhu Mythos, Meikle's inclusion of "The Wonderful Musician" in his collection Into the Black: Tales of Lovecraftian Terror indicates his belief that it follows in the spirit of such works. Additionally, two of the beings summoned during Rickman's experiments bear a similarity to entities found within the Mythos: a winged crustacean resembling a Mi-go, and a conglomeration of multiplying black eggs whose description is identical to that found in other stories by the same author, and has been revealed to be Yog-Sototh.
