ALALA. Being alluded to in the infamous Green Book. Alala is a Great Old One who is a native of the Gulf of S'glhuo. It is a sound that can manifest itself as a huge monstrous being, and the Gulf's inhabitants serve and fear it. [Alala turned up as the name of a deity for both the Greeks and the Mesopotamians. Whether Machen knew this or not is unknown.] See Green Book; S'glhuo. ("The Voice of the Animals", Adair; "The Plain of Sound", Campbell; "The White People", Machen (O) .)
