Reminds me of when I tried moving back to where the bulk of my extended family lives. We didn't even make it a year before we fled back to Colorado (my extended family mostly lives in Oregon and California--we moved to Oregon.) If certain family members told me to come back for some big to-do, I'd have to figure it was illegal.Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-37813535614655517802015-07-22T21:54:13.299-07:002015-07-22T21:54:13.299-07:00Jeanne: I'll be looking for that one, then.Jeanne: I'll be looking for that one, then.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-56491662032652082452015-07-22T21:49:11.941-07:002015-07-22T21:49:11.941-07:00Alex C: I think that's because Lovecraft's...Alex C: I think that's because Lovecraft's style is so heavy on telling and that's not the current style.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-66690194396996765602015-07-22T15:01:10.085-07:002015-07-22T15:01:10.085-07:00This one I've read.

I think Shadow Over Innsmouth did a better job with the whole "return to your roots/is this normal?" thing.
