Whispers in the Dark: A Cthulhu Anthology — a Great Old One in the mythos index; cult traces and dream contagion documented under Miskatonic seal. Register ME-1923-Q73/9199.
Overview
Expedition register ME-1923-Q73/9199 — cross-index under slug `whispers-in-the-dark-a-cthulhu-anthology`.
Whispers in the Dark: A Cthulhu Anthology belongs to that class of powers the vulgar call gods and the archive calls liabilities — dormant, local, or oceanic, yet never domesticated.
In the marginalia of the Latin Necronomicon the name Whispers in the Dark: A Cthulhu Anthology appears beside tides, eclipses, or breeding cycles we cannot reproduce in laboratory glass.
New England incidents teach a rhythm: polite towns, old families, water or hills that smell wrong, then a paper trail ending in sanitariums. Whispers in the Dark: A Cthulhu Anthology 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.

Field Observations
Burn nothing found pulsing; catalogue first, then burn if protocol allows.
If dreams arrive with the weight of memory for places never visited, terminate contact.
The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.
