Summary

The Bram Stoker Award–winning author “triumphantly returns to the world of Eutopia” in this “dazzling horror novel”of Nazis and demonic forces (Publishers Weekly, starred review).   At the dawn of the twentieth century, orphaned farm boy Jason Thistledown and black physician Andrew Waggoner came face to face with monsters both human and inhuman. Alongside American eugenicists seeking to perfect the human race through breeding and culls, there was a parasitic entity named Juke that lived off people’s hopes, dreams, and faith, as it consumed humanity from within.   Now the year is 1931, and the past that haunts Andrew and Jason is about to bring them together again. Andrew, now living in Paris, continues his tireless work to destroy the elusive Juke. Jason, a veteran pilot of WWI, is embarking on a new career flying mail across North Africa, hoping to forget his encounter with it. But in a remote valley in the Bavarian Alps, Germanic students of those same American eugenicists are desperately trying to uncover the secret of the Juke . . . and the promise of the Übermensch.

    Daniel, a young man and son of the late bailiff, with rather superior ways of a gentleman but no money to back them up becomes involved in a love triangle.  Engaged to Maria, a plain looking girl but with proper manners, Daniel begins stepping out on the sly with a pretty young woman from France called Harriet (really Henriette, but a name too difficult for the villagers to remember).   Maria decides to have it out with him, so she follows him one night.  She catches him coming out of the barn of a neighbour, who also happens to be narrator of the story, with a sack of grain in hand.  Maria lets loose as only a woman scorned might.  The next day Daniel goes missing, and Maria, now repentant for her promise to turn him in to the authorities, sees him walking in the wooded area near the barn, but he doesn't see her.  It transpires she saw him well after he hanged himself in those same woods.

He intends to use it on his enemies, but in the end, he himself becomes a victim.The horror in the cemetery is distinguished by a slightly gallows humor and the rustic slang of the characters. The story at times resembles the works of the master of macabre, Ambrose Bierce.The last of the stories written by Lovecraft for Hazel Heald.

Lovecraft didn't seem to complain about her, which cannot be said about other clients
