I would never have picked up on that. But then I've read very little by Lovecraft. What are the clues? > It's in "Innocents Abroad." Couldn't let that pass without picking a nit: Wolfe's collection is "Innocents *Aboard*" Wolfe's title is a pun on Mark Twain's "Innocents *Abroad*," which is subtitled "The New Pilgrim's Progress," and recounts Twain's visit to the Holy Land. The last story in Wolfe's collection is "The Lost Pilgrim." ---
