Love the array of characters. Also that desciption of Greenland is so top notch that it makes me regret having (thus far) ignored that land mass in the pseudo-lovecraftian backstory of my series of pulp-novelettes.

The characters are all just culled from Wikipedia and local history blogs. One of the cool things about this project has been how many ideas are just sitting there waiting for someone to use them.

Greenland is easy to overlook. I had to spend some time getting my head around the geological history of the place before I knew how to use it.

Yeah I also use Wikipedia extensively (also: Wikimedia commons – one can even find good public domain imagery for cover art there). With regards to Greenland, I was looking in the wrong half of the world because my great mystery stems from Mu, which is in the Pacific Ocean. And from the opposite side of the world from their old lab/temple, which is somewhere in the western Sahara desert. I'd push my wares to you but I assume you don't read German.

Anyway, really enjoying your writing and have been for quite a while.

Thanks man! Yes I for sure don't speak German. I'm getting a lot out of your comments though. If your pulp novels are that evocative you might be onto something.

I'm going to get to the Pacific and to Mu eventually. I'm Australian so I'm looking forward to being able to set something in my part of the world.

Love the shout-out to the vicar eaten by lions, and more generally how squalid this whole scenario is--looking at the array of malformed minds and bodies in Blackpool, it's hard not to conclude that a return to protoplasm might be a better alternative.
