See? I said I'd been out of the loop....
I knew that scholarship kept pushing back the amount of HPL's contribution to "The Night Ocean", though I'd not heard about the MS. being found... that's very good news. Finally settles the question left open by the ambiguous phrasing in Lovecraft's letters.... And yes, it is a very good story. Barlow's talent seemed to be growing by leaps and bounds at that period.
Now if I only had $100,000 for that script of "The Shunned House"....
