The Hastur Cycle

Overview

Filed under register ME-1933-Y95/9549; cite `the-hastur-cycle` in all outbound correspondence.

No sober cartographer places The Hastur Cycle on a map mortals may buy; nevertheless, deeds, drownings, and dreams cluster where the name is whispered.

We catalogue The Hastur Cycle because silence failed: too many unrelated witnesses described the same wrong geometry after the same sleepless week.

New England incidents teach a rhythm: polite towns, old families, water or hills that smell wrong, then a paper trail ending in sanitariums. The Hastur Cycle may or may not follow that rhythm — check dates before you blame Cthulhu for a Vermont landslide.

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