Chandler]] over a period of decades between 1967 and 1995, in the form of a series of files containing the core of Chandler's analysis of the ''[[Necronomicon]]'' and his own conclusions about the nature of [[Church of Sunyata|Emptiness]], [[The Emptied|becoming Empty]], and the [[Hungry Void|The Void]].

Physical Description: This Mythos tome takes the form of five large battered cardboard box files, containing a mixture of handwritten and typed pages, incomprehensible diagrams, and clippings from other sources. [[Church of Sunyata|Craig Steele]] had attempted to create an index and summary, but the notes are still insanely chaotic.

General Content: Contains some limited insights from the "Sussex Manuscript" version of the ''[[Necronomicon]]'', with analysis and insights focusing on the nature of [[Church of Sunyata|Emptiness]], [[The Emptied|becoming Empty]], and the [[Hungry Void|The Void]], and some references to [[Yog-Sothoth]], [[Azathoth]], and [[Nyarlathotep]] where they overlap with Chandler's interest.
