After the death of his great-uncle, Francis Wayland Thurston delves into the late Profesor Angell’s effects…

I was sorting through
all his research one day,
when I found a monstrosity
made out of clay.

Spurred on by his curiosity, Francis learns of many terrible things. The artist who came to his uncle for help. A raid in the Louisiana swamps, led by Inspector Legrasse. The sailor Gustaf Johansen. And, perhaps most importantly, the horrible fate of theEmma.

The most merciful thing
in the world, I believe,
is humanity’s failure
to fully conceive
of the cosmical horrors
we’ve yet to reveal,
and which up until now
I have tried to conceal
