Lovecraft in ASOIAF: The Tomb of the Black Pharaoh and The Heart of Winter

Jon was killed by Squishers?! Well, maybe. From the Seastone Chair to the black stone buildings of Asshai, up to the Red Comet and back to the Weirwood Trees, author George RR Martin has a habit of sneaking in Lovecraftian items and tweaking them into his own narrative creations. When it comes to the fabled Heart of Winter the same seems to hold true. In this stream we will take a look at what awaits us by delving into Lovecraft's own tale of a black stone worshipping God-King - The Black Pharaoh Nephren-Ka. We will also take a look at the expanded mythos influenced by later writers Brian Lumley and Lin Carter (one of George's past editors) and what this means for both our Night's King figures - Jon and Euron. We will also take a look at two short stories of this mythos, "In the Hall of the Yellow King" and "In His Daughter's Darkling Womb" to see how the downfall of one may be influenced by the Kraken's Daughter.
