The Night Ocean

Marina Willett has a problem. Her husband, Charlie, has become obsessed with H.P. Lovecraft, in particular with one episode in the legendary horror writer''s life: In the summer of 1934, the ''old gent'' lived for two months with a gay teenage fan named Robert Barlow, at Barlow''s family home in central Florida. Were they friends - or something more? Just when Charlie thinks he''s solved the puzzle, a new scandal erupts, and he disappears. The police say it''s suicide. Marina, a psychiatrist, doesn''t believe them. A tour de force of storytelling inspired by Lovecraft and his gang.
