Grand-Pré, the home of Evangeline, seldom fails to impress the stranger, who sees it for the first time, with a sense of its rich loveliness.

If you are expecting an entire volume of spinoffs from Lovecraft's The Shadow Out of Time, complete with consciousness-swapping across the aeons, cone-shaped scholarly beings compiling their archives while dinosaurs roam outside their cities and some nameless doom threatens them from below, this isn't it. I did indeed include a few stories of that sort, as such titles as Robert Guffey's "Toward a General Theory of Yithian Psychology" and Rob...
