The Transition of Zadok Allen

Overview

Miskatonic seal ME-1925-K99/3536 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `the-transition-of-zadok-allen`.

The Transition of Zadok Allen enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.

We would delete The Transition of Zadok Allen if deletion worked; instead we classify, cross-link, and warn.

New England incidents teach a rhythm: polite towns, old families, water or hills that smell wrong, then a paper trail ending in sanitariums. The Transition of Zadok Allen 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.

The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.
