Did nobody really see the face in the window where they beamed down. It was unsettling.

Thanks for covering the connection between HP Lovecraft and Robert Bloch. Interestingly, HPL wrote a submarine story – “The Temple”. WWI based. An interesting 30 min read – with the usual HPL caveats. https://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/te.aspx
