About this ebook
When a strange rash of arson breaks out, the culprit -- or culprits? -- is like nothing anyone expects, in this short story of "weird fiction" in the tradition of H.P. Lovecraft.
Author
Jon Hartling
Jon Hartling had been writing aimlessly for many years before the stars aligned and he discovered his muse in the classic stories of H.P. Lovecraft. With the invaluable help of his wife Heather in an editorial and technical capacity, he began writing short stories of weird fiction. He lives in Wisconsin with his wife and children and dreams of one day owning a plush Cthulhu doll that’s wearing a Green Bay Packers jersey and helmet. His demented cat Nikki may or may not be head-butting him at this very moment.
