You haven't read a lot of Lovecraft have you lol, there's not many demons in it at all. And fuck the Cthulhu mythos, that's my least favorite Lovecraft story, I like his Shadow Over Innsmouth, and the Thing on my Doorstep.

You miss my point.  There are demons in the Anitaverse that would answer prayers directed at false gods.....

You are correct however.  I have read very little Lovecraft.  The book I have, 'Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos Volume 1  contains only about 30 pages by Lovecraft.  The rest is by Robert E Howard (Did you know Conan was part of the Cthulhu mythology?) Clark Ashton Smith and Frank Belnap Long......

I've made it a point to actualy not read any work by the people who have written themselves into the Cthulhu Mythos. Not that I won't eventualy, Lovecraft himself wrote his stories into the worlds of his fellow writers so I can't hold it against them. I just want to read Lovecraft right now though, and not just stories in his setting. I'd recomend A Shadow over Innsmouth as a good Lovecraft work if you likes suspense and twists.

I would consider having the person pray to Dagon, or Cthulhu, or one of the many other gods, but who in their right mind would actualy try to pray to a fictional character to find out if the results work or not?

You'd be surprised how many people seem to think Lovecraft was taking existing mythology and expanding on it.

[Morvala]

Just as many tardholes who think the Necronomicon was a real book and not written by him too I'd gather. Still I'd rather not play a halfwit ;).

[Maxx]

Probably exactly as many, since that is one of the primary factors in the belief.  He did a great job of making it seem to have a history.  To bad there are no references to it that are more than eighty odd years old....
