The drive toward Cape Girardot had been through unfamiliar country, and as the late afternoon

light grew golden and half-dream-like, I realized

that I must have directions if I expected to reach the town before night.

I did not care to be wandering about these bleak southern Missouri lowlands after dark, or roads were poor in the November

cold rather formidable in an open roadster.

Flat clouds too were massing on the horizon, so I looked about among the long gray and blue shadows that streaked the flat brownish fields hoping to glimpse some house where I might get the needed information.

That was the first paragraph of Medusus Coil, written by H.P. Lovecraft and Zelia Bishop,

published two years after his death in Weird Tales and discussed 74 years after his death,

right here on the

HP Lovecraft.

I'm Chad Fifer, and I should mention that the version

which appeared in Weird Tales, again, was rewritten by August

Gerleth. Yes, that's true. August got his hands on a lot of the stuff and made it a little bit more

palatable, I guess. Did did he I'd love to actually yeah I don't know I don't

know this this story without you know ruining anything I have to say I liked better

than than the last one in a way.

It was easier to read, is what I'm going to say.

But, uh...

This wasn't as good as the curse of Yig?

No.
