    I was inspired by the phrase "blasted heath," because at the time I'd just recently read H.P. Lovecraft's "Color Out of Space," and was surprised that I actually let myself be creeped out a little by reading it. His stories tend to take place around that Massachusetts-Connecticut-Rhode Island trifecta, don't they?

    "The Dreams of the Witch House" prime nightmare material.

    I think there are a lot of Lovecraft fans on FS with all the "Cthulu" references. I still remember being not just a litte, but totally creeped out the first time I read The Dunwich Horror when I was a kid. Speaking of Dunwich Horror, here's another Lovecraft-referenced story to finish, if anyone is so inclined: http://foldingstory.com/43sty/

    I have my suspicions that most direct Cthulhu references may be influenced more by popular culture than the source material. I've yet to read through it myself.

    So if Foldingstory isn't an HP Lovecraft self help group, what am I doing here?
