The Shadow Over Innsmouth Bayou

Overview

Expedition register ME-1935-K22/1298 — cross-index under slug `the-shadow-over-innsmouth-bayou`.

Survivors of The Shadow Over Innsmouth Bayou disagree on weather, century, and compass bearing — agreement on dread is nearly unanimous.

The Shadow Over Innsmouth Bayou cannot be visited like Providence; it is approached through texts, dreams, and disasters that leave coordinates in dispute.

The Necronomicon is quoted too often as gossip; when a dossier cites Alhazred, demand the edition and the translator. Our English paraphrases deliberately blunt the lines that injure readers who memorise instead of understand.

What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.
