Reflections on My Favorite Author, and the Honor of Being Published in a Special Issue of Cosmic Horror Monthly Devoted Entirely to Him
Out of every publication I've ever been included in, I have to say, this one is the greatest honor. H.P.

Last night, I began a frantic search for a short story I'd read years ago in a college English class--fueled, of course, by the same feverish, all-consuming waves of OCD as always.
