Called by his forefathers, the narrator walks through new snow at Yuletide to an ancient seaport on the New England coast that he has never seen but often dreamed of. The town’s silent, strangely moving inhabitants lead him to a church on the hill and down beneath it, toward a ceremony that has been kept since long before Christmas was named.
An atmospheric seasonal tale and an early glimpse of the Kingsport and Necronomicon lore that runs through Lovecraft’s later fiction. Download the free EPUB.
