“It's a hand-tinted John James Audubon engraving picturing a quiescent shoggoth, docile on a rock. Gulls wheel all around it.” That’s a delightful 180° from Lovecraft, as is the conclusion. I wonder if Chaosium will want it for one of their collections of Mythos stories?
I wish I could get a John James Audubon print of a shoggoth.
