Summary

A student on a tour of New England discovers the decaying seaport of Innsmouth, a town loathed by its neighbors and populated by people with a strange, amphibian look. He uncovers a dark pact made generations ago with entities from the sea, trading prosperity for genetic corruption. The story features a harrowing escape sequence and a twisted ending of self-discovery. It is a definitive tale of biological degeneration and the inevitability of ancestry.

    As an archaeological team cares for the Indian Shell Mounds on Dauphin Island, they discover a strange metal key—in a skeleton's hand! Questions loom about the key's origin and what mysteries it might unlock. Could it be an artifact left behind by Spanish explorers, the first people besides the First Nation People to reside on the island? Or is the skeleton one of the unfortunate Casket Girls who died when the island was called Massacre Island? 
     
     
     
    After a few days of study, the key demonstrates strange characteristics and one archaeologist, in particular, is concerned that the activity surrounding the key could be paranormal. 
     
     
     
    Midas and the Gulf Coast Paranormal Team accept the case and head to the island to see for themselves the key, the skeleton, and a strange box that will not unlock. 
     
     
     
    Are they prepared for the ghosts of Massacre Island? Will the ghosts of the First Nation's people rise up in protest?

    An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
    But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
    Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.

    “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” This creepy horror story is one of the best written by Lovecraft in my opinion. What unknown being is lurking out there? What entity arrived in that meteor? Never described exactly, yet he manages to let your own imagination smell and taste it in this story.
