Lost Masterpieces 4

Overview

Miskatonic seal ME-1919-K60/1368 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `lost-masterpieces-4-the-house-on-the-promontory`.

Lost Masterpieces 4: The House on the Promontory enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.

We would delete Lost Masterpieces 4: The House on the Promontory 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and the game industry) enlarged the name without enlarging the proof; we mark those layers explicitly so students do not cite a 1981 module as 1928 fact.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.

Activity increased after the Innsmouth embargo and the Antarctic expedition, as if publicity taught the countryside new vocabulary for old fears.
