In the Lovecraft Museum
A novella. Cover art by Jason Van Hollander.
Years ago Jamie's young son disappeared while they were vacationing in England. Now Jamie's mysterious British pen pal (and founder of the British Lovecraft Appreciation Society) has invited him across the ocean to visit a fabulous museum devoted to H. P. Lovecraft recently erected in the countryside outside London. But from the moment the plane touches down he finds himself in a country transformed in ways both subtle and profound. And could that young man glimpsed in the distance, apprehended in fragments and hints, possibly be his long lost child?
