Overview

Miskatonic seal ME-1919-Q59/4389 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `the-dreams-in-the-witch-house-and-other-weird-stories`.

The Dreams in the Witch House and Other Weird Stories survives as narrative record — plot separated here from the entities it wakes, so scholars need not drown in the same revelation twice.

The incident titled The Dreams in the Witch House and Other Weird Stories is filed under fiction because the alternative filing — fact — would close several departments.

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and the game industry) enlarged the name without enlarging the proof; we mark those layers explicitly so students do not cite a 1981 module as 1928 fact.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