LiteratureThe Man of Stone
The Man of Stone begins with apparently impossible sculptures in the Adirondacks and ends with a record of deliberate poisoning, domestic abuse and retaliation. Hazel Heald and H. P. Lovecraft combine a found-notebook investigation with a fictional petrifying substance drawn from an insert in the Book of Eibon. The final change of handwriting gives the victim a voice that overturns the murderer’s account of his marriage.
