Lovecraft protagonists will spend 3/4 of the story casually going over how they got bored of average New England life and started robbing graves for fun and some people stared at me and I thought they looked fishy and had five rows of teeth and ate live frogs from my pond but my friend, Dean of the Department of Eugenics at Miskatonic University, went to Africa once and said that's normal there. Sometimes I shoot them because they smell bad and they don't die but as a man of Science I don't believe in shit like werewolves and there's definitely a rational explanation for this. Something came out of the sea in my dreams and there was weird music, so now I'm actually getting the heebie jeebies. Maybe I was wrong about werewolves.
But here's the Big Reveal. The Real Scary Part: They were fish people all along. And the sound wasn't werewolves. I found out there's this instrument called a Theremin that makes sound without touching it, which is creepy and unnatural. Apparently some Russian guy invented it but I'm pretty sure the Primitive Russians could never invent something so otherworldly so I have come to terms with the existence of aliens and the absence of a loving god.
