“Some of ’em have queer narrow heads with flat noses and bulgy, stary eyes that never seem to shut, and their skin ain’t quite right.”
-H.P. Lovecraft, “The Shadow Over Innsmouth”
I recently posed a question to a few friends in the Pulped Culture Facebook group: Which celebrities have the Innsmouth look? Here are a few of the suggestions that came back. Can you think of others? Continue reading
