    Our next mythos series is in the works, planned for the lead-up to Halloween. It's a little more ambitious, and will consist almost entirely of NEW mythos stories. Thanks for your ongoing support, ladies and gents. Ian & Jen

      I,m enjoying these too. Being a Limey I know very little of the the locations. Only the beautiful descriptions from H.P. Lovecraft. I really enjoyed his“The Strange High House in the Mist“ and l loved one of the comments from someone that their teacher wrote down the first paragraph and read it to his class as an example of how beautiful the English language can be regardless of genre. It was set at Kingsport Mass. With this story l looked up Sabbathday because the author used it in the previous story. I found out that it’s the name of a Lake in Maine and the last home of the Shakers , The Sabbathday Centre. I learn much from these stories.

    Resting atop the old packing crate that contained his still dead friend's delinquent volumes there were a number of other papers and treatises, arcane, esoteric and proscribed all of them heavily annotated and book-marked; several lay open at certain specific passages.

    Great story! It was cool that he described the real phenomenon of Will-o'-the-wisps. There's a big marsh near me that pumps them out pretty regularly. The anaerobic bacteria within the muck create phosphine gas which combusts immediately upon contact with air and the fuel that keeps it going is methane.

I know it happens frequently because my friend lives right beside it and has seen them (and been creeped out by them) his whole life. I think it's like a blue glow, I can only imagine seeing those as a kid skirting the trees at night. Apparently there's usually a couple at a time.
