Evil Things in Cold Midnight

Overview

Filed under register ME-1927-W52/6993; cite `evil-things-in-cold-midnight` in all outbound correspondence.

Evil Things in Cold Midnight enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.

We would delete Evil Things in Cold Midnight if deletion worked; instead we classify, cross-link, and warn.

Lovecraft's own prose — when he is the witness — should be read in the /library before this summary is trusted. Posthumous expansion (Derleth, Smith, Campbell, Wilson, and the game industry) enlarged the name without enlarging the proof; we mark those layers explicitly so students do not cite a 1981 module as 1928 fact.

The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.

If dreams arrive with the weight of memory for places never visited, terminate contact.

Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.
