I always wanted a chance to use the word “Aegipanic.” It’s one of my favorite Lovecraft words. (He used it in the story “Under the Pyramids,” which was ghostwritten for and narrated by Harry Houdini. Yes, really.) It means “like goat-footed Pan,” presumably cacophonous and alien.

“and sadness that Mark’s last words had been spoken to It and not to her.”
Ooh! You got it! :D

Very very nice!

Thank you for introducing a new word into my lexicon. Very cool.

You did a good job of tapping into that Lovecraft vein. Get some more stories going!

I like the way you show Isabelle’s human reaction to the horrific/supernatural events that just occurred. Those elements set each other off well.
