The Shadow over Innsmouth H P Lovecraft

Welcome to Innsmouth, Massachusetts, a town where evil dwells ... A student, conducting an antiquarian tour of New England, travels through the nearby decrepit seaport of Innsmouth, which is suggested as a cheaper and potentially interesting next leg of his journey. There he meets some utterly strange people and observes disturbing events that ultimately lead to horrifying and personal revelations ... "The Shadow over Innsmouth" is part of the Cthulhu Mythos. H. P. Lovecraft wrote the story in 1931, and it was first published in 1936 as a hardcover book. It was reprinted in the January 1942 issue of Weird Tales.
