They were strange days—curious dream-like days—and they followed each other silently, like shadows over grain fields. Edith Allonby, The Fulfilment, 1905.

@BrandonFugal @Weird_Friction Thank you Brandon! Clearly Derleth was very much influenced by Lovecraft, and it oozes that eldritch atmosphere. And since I loved Lovecraft’s stories as a teenager, I was very pleased to discover the writers of the Lovecraft Circle.

In the British fantasy tv-series 'Children of the Stones' (1977) this book is briefly seen, "It's never consulted, mentioned or even glanced at in the story... Anyone know anything about the author?", asks @Dr_Oscar_Dowson. So I dug around. https://t.co/w8ctm1etdp

@MorganScorpion And I have maintained for decades that Lovecraft’s ‘The Hound’ was modelled after a decadent novel of Joris-Karl Huysmans.
