Something between Edgar Allen Poe and Stephen King.
I'm too lost to ask any more questions.

"Nevermore..."
In all fairness, he didn't write any Maritime Engineering manuals.
Last time I had manoes was at Evans seafood.
Is anybody still digging manoes around here or have they gone extinct?
My wife grew up in Wilbraham, MA. Lovecraft's family had a summer place on Wilbraham Mountain.
Behind the houses across the street from my in-laws' home are the swamps that figure as terrain in some of his stories.

Although I think I have read everything Lovecraft ever wrote - pretty sure Wendigo is Indian folklore, although it's gruesome.
What's weird is, in EVERY depiction of them in movies or TV, they all differ in what they look like or how they do what they do or how they come to exist. The only common thread is hunger and cannibalism.

I might have it confused with someone elses book.

Hey, you're cool enough to have read Lovecraft. Did you know that Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard - creator of Conan the Barbarian (and others) were friends (at least, through years of correspondence). He made close to nothing for all his best known work - which was largely unknown until decades after his death.

From the northeast, we called them soft shell clams. Lots of places to get them, although the places I used to get them I would no longer consider clean waters.
In looking for pictures of them, I came a cross a Marshall's seafood on Facebook who still harvests and sells, so apparently they are still around.
I have everything I could find of Lovecraft's work. August Derleth was very thorough in preserving and curating the stories.
We read "Dunwich Horror" and "The Color Out Of Space" in 8th grade English class.
He and Howard did indeed correspond, also have everything Howard wrote. This includes an anthology edited by David Drake entitled "Cthulhu The Mythos and Other Horrors."

My kids are right then...I'm just not cool.
Reading Instructions is kinda like cheating.
