New topographical article tracing one of Lovecraft’s 1924 excursions, “Chasing Lovecraft on Staten Island”.
Above: the scary-looking Staten Island steam train, 1925. Possibly the “wheezy accommodation train” Lovecraft used. Seeing photos like this makes one realise that Lovecraft still had one foot in the steam age.

Thank you for posting our lil article here. I (Anthony) must say your book was in part an inspiration for the topographical tone. I am a big fan of your book and work. I hope you enjoyed our small contribution to this area of HPL surveys.
