The Whippoorwills in the Hills

Overview

Filed under register ME-1933-W62/8231; cite `the-whippoorwills-in-the-hills` in all outbound correspondence.

The Whippoorwills in the Hills enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.

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and the game industry) enlarged the name without enlarging the proof; we mark those layers explicitly so students do not cite a 1981 module as 1928 fact.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