Moths to a Pallid Flame

Overview

Expedition register ME-1935-C72/2950 — cross-index under slug `moths-to-a-pallid-flame`.

Moths to a Pallid Flame enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.

We would delete Moths to a Pallid Flame 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and the game industry) enlarged the name without enlarging the proof; we mark those layers explicitly so students do not cite a 1981 module as 1928 fact.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.

Field Observations

Burn nothing found pulsing; catalogue first, then burn if protocol allows.

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.
