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

Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos: Stories
H. P. Lovecraft
@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.
