-In Chambers' ''[[The King in Yellow (anthology)]]'' (1895), a fin-de-siècle collection of horror stories, Hastur is both the name of a city (in "The Repairer of Reputations") and the name of a potentially supernatural servant (in "The Demoiselle D'Ys").  Hastur might have been mentioned alongside other outre elements such as the "King in Yellow" in Chambers' stories, but Chambers never quite makes it clear what exactly these terms mean, and seemingly refers to the King in Yellow and Hastur as different concepts.

 August Derleth, however, building on Lovecraft's foundation, more fully (if awkwardly) developed Hastur into a [[Great Old Ones (Deities)|Great Old One]], spawn of [[Yog-Sothoth]], the half-brother of [[Cthulhu]], and theoretically the [[Magnum Innominandum]]. In this incarnation, Hastur has several avatars:
-* The Feaster from Afar, a black, shriveled, flying monstrosity with tentacles tipped with razor-sharp talons that can pierce a victim's skull and siphon out the brain{

 * The [[King in Yellow]] (linking one to the other for the first time as deity and avatar)
 * The [[High Priest Not to Be Described]], entity that wears a yellow silken mask (This is disputed by Lovecraft who connects the Priest to Nyarlathotep)
