Inspired by my love for H.P. Lovecraft's writings, this short story is my addition to the mythos. The old ones can live well beyond our lifetimes, but what do their followers have to show for a lifetime of servitude? What about the ancestors of their followers who unwittingly become the keepers of their secrets? Friends revisit a childhood mystery upon the death of Wesley Miller's grandmother. What they find is far more dangerous and terrible than they could have imagined.

Excerpt from The InheritanceMrs. St. Clair. So far all was kind and conciliating; and the exiles, after much delay, set forth upon their journey, according to the rules prescribed by the Earl - but, within a day's journey of Paris, Mrs. St. Clair was taken prematurely ill, and there, at an obscure village, gave birth to a daughter, which, as Mr. St. Clair sensibly remarked, though not so good as a boy, was yet better than nothing at all. As the salique law was not in force in the Rossville family, the sex of the child was indeed a mat ter of little consequence, save in the eyes of such as are sturdy sticklers for man's supremacy. Its health and strength were therefore the chief objects of consideration; and, although pre maturely introduced into life, it was a remarkably fine thriving baby, which Mrs. St. Clair, contrary to the common practice of mothers, ascribed entirely to the excellence of its nurse.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
