The Awful

Post by Hodgson »

Has the Awful returned to Berkshire & Richford?
Written by H.P. Albarelli Jr.

Thursday, 19 October 2006

In 1925, renowned horror writer H.P. Lovecraft secretly traveled to Richford and Berkshire to investigate a strange phenomenon that was occurring in the two towns. Lovecraft had been visiting friends in southern Vermont when he first learned about odd sightings in Richford.
Locals there were terribly afraid of a beast they had dubbed "the Awful." First spotted atop the Boright building at the corner of Main and River streets early one evening around dusk, the Awful, according to records of old, was a winged creature that resembled "a very large Griffin-like creature with grayish wings that each spanned ten-feet." The creature possessed "a serpent like tail that equaled its wing length" and "huge claws that could easily grip a milk can's girth."

Us Irish are plagued by the Unwell. It leaves its victims with a pounding headache, dry throat, aching joints and a general sense of unpleasantness. It usually hides in a pint of Guinness.
