INNSMOUTH ECHOES — Robert Poyton

Decaying New England seaport, creation of  iconic weird tale author HP Lovecraft .

But what if it were a real place? What if ripples from that accursed town were to spread out across the world?


Inspired by certain family documents and photos, this collection of thirteen original tales and poems reflecs the legacy of Innsmouth throughout the ages.


From King John's demise in the Wash, to  events behind Britain's largest earthquake.

From secret U-boat missions to the Summer of Love. From yuppie developers to urban explorers.

And from the sultry Pacific to the frozen Antarctic. No one who comes into contact with Innsmouth Echoes survives unchanged. Because Innsmouth is not just a place… it's a state of mind.
