Are you sure you aren't thinking of Stephen King? He sets most of his stories in Maine.

Wouldn't that Miskatonic.edu if it was a real university?

Anonymous Frankly, I was surprised that the site was legit, as the very next site in the google list was on Geocities.

The_Rorschach Thank you Boogie, I owe you one. I try so hard to avoid secondary sources it never even occoured to me to check a website before reading the stories all over again.

You saved me at least twenty minutes there

The_Rorschach They were mostly (if not all) set in Maine I believe, although I think the University that had the Necronomicon might have been in Mass I'm not sure, but the cities he set his works in were varied. Now I am going to have to re-read everything just to so I can cite which works I'm referring to exactly were Portsmouth is named.

Protoclown So do I really need to be on the lookout for Cthulhu or what???

Anonymous I thought it was just in Maine.



So who among us is truly correct?

Perndog Yeah, I thought all of Lovecraft's settings were farther north, like in Massachusetts....

EDIT: Yeah, Maine sounds more right.

The One and Only... Why do you think I don't need police?

The police likely could be taken over by private defence firms w/ progressive voucher system and heavy regulation, but still...

(Actually, there is an alternative to vouchers, it's just a matter of which method is more efficient.)

The_Rorschach No, actually I don't. though Innsmouth was used also.

I know my lovecraft Princess.

kellychaos Silly me. I thought Vinth was going to put some kind of anti-muslim spin on the story using the owner as his "case in point". I guess that muslims are good, though, as long as they fit the point he's trying to make.

Who needs police in a land where everyone looks like this?

AChimp Vinth defended his father at the buffet, remember? His mom was lining her purse with a grocery bag and filling it with fried chicken, and his father was stuffing his face when the manager tried to kick them out.

Vinth held him off with a butterknife while his folks grabbed the prime rib and fled.
