About The Shadow Over Innsmouth by Howard Phillips Lovecraft
The Shadow over Innsmouth is a horror novella by Howard Phillips Lovecraft. It forms part of the Cthulhu Mythos, using its motif of a malign undersea civilization. It references several shared elements of the Mythos, including place-names, mythical creatures and invocations. The story is divided into five chapters. In the first chapter, the narrator begins by telling the reader of how he instigated a secret investigation of the ruined town of Innsmouth, Massachusetts, by the U.S. government. He proceeds to describe in detail the events surrounding his initial interest in the town (antiquarian and architectural), which lies along the route of his tour across New England, taken when he was twenty-one. While he waits for the bus that will take him to Innsmouth, he busies himself in the neighboring town of Newburyport by gathering information on the town from local townsfolk; all of it having superstitious overtones.
