One of the current writers of Mythos fan-fiction is Brian Lumley of England. His hero, Titus Crow, mastered the use of a clock-like machine , a sort of TARDIS created by the Elder Gods . Chased all over time & space by the Hounds of Tindalos, it takes him long to find his way back home. This machine, first owned by DeMarigny, was described in "Through the Gates of the Silver key" and fully discussed in "The Transistion of Titus Crow". Its properties match those of the TARDIS.
