"The Dreams in the Witch House" is a horror short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft, part of the Cthulhu Mythos cycle. Written in January/February 1932, it was first published in the July 1933 issue of Weird Tales.

tumblr is crunchifying him for some reason but he is coloured in now :3 keychain plans are to have walter (above), walter & elwood (normal & non fucked up), and elwood who will have a normal side and a fucked up side like walter does

Today’s rat (sort of) is Brown Jenkin from the H.P. Lovecraft story, “Dreams in the Witch House”!

brown jenkin didn’t even serve cunt.

And here we go with another take on Cabinet of Curiosities, this one for 'Dreams In The Witch House', SPOILERS ahead:

At first I thought the story was a weird mess, cobbled together like a rat with a man's face. But I think I have managed to make sense of it.

It is ultimately about layers, and perspective.

On the one hand, we got the beautiful gothic fairy tale of a twin brother trying to save his twin sister from the land of the dead, a story of love and sacrifice and fighting together, and both ultimately learn to embrace the whole circle of life thing and move on.

On the other hand, you got little Fckface McGee who just wants to opportunistically squirrel away a human body for himself so he can get drunk and watch those flashy new Mickey Mouse cartoons in the theatre. Shrugged off by the protagonists as just a lowly background mook as they focus on the big threats and challenges of their adventure.

But for the purposes of how those two plotlines or arcs interact, it really does not matter which story we find more important, more wholesome, more interesting.

It's like if prince charming defeated the dragon and took the saved princess home only for them to get brutally robbed and murdered on their way to the castle and the story ends with the outlaw gushing over the big haul he made that day.

And that's kinda awesome?

There is even at least a third layer of this with one character mentioning in passing that Hitler is rising to power in Europe, only for it to be dismissed as a silly bit of exotic trivia. A story of death and sacrifice unfolding at a much greater scale than any of the characters could possibly imagine.

What could have made this even better though? If we got to see greedy little Jenkin Brown being forced to fight in WWII, trapped as he is now in the body of a very draftable young man.

A double twist, driving home how it can be the supposedly "background stories" that catch up to you in the end.

An ink drawing of characters from Lovecraft's, THE DREAMS IN THE WITCH HOUSE. The witch's 'familiar', and possibly her monstrous hybrid child too, of the story, is the rat-like creature, Brown Jenkin. Witch's familiars are traditionally cats, black cats particularly. H. P. Lovecraft, however, had an intense love and respect for felines. This life-long affection no doubt was rooted in his deep love of his own coal-black cat (who shall remain nameless here!) Lovecraft's cat disappeared sometime in his teens. He wrote of his deep connection to cats often. SOMETHING ABOUT CATS, was an essay he produced praising the species. Getting back to THE DREAMS IN THE WITCH HOUSE, it is interesting that Brown Jenkin is rat-like rather than feline. As a demonic, bloodthirsty baby-killer, it might not be surprising that Lovecraft the fiction writer would choose to make the 'familiar' rat-like rather than cat-like. Rats of course are the natural enemies of cats and the generally uncouth aspect of Brown Jenkin and his fellow travelers is beneath the dignity of any CAT! (Exhibit 228)

Since the commencement of autumn, I have been introducing myself to the works of H. P. Lovecraft by binging a collection of his short stories. My favourite thus far is The Color Out of Space; and the weakest, in my humble opinion, is The Dreams in the Witch House. Did anyone else find the description of Brown Jenkin far more humorous than it could ever be scary?

Soon after John Y. Brown, Jr. was elected governor of Kentucky, he and his wife, sportscaster Phyllis George, discovered Cave Hill Place, a romantic antebellum mansion in Lexington. With the assistance of R. Wayne Jenkins, the home, built in 1821 by a nephew of Patrick Henry, was totally renovated and decorated in a matter of six short weeks. Lofty pink oaks and maples provide shade for the neo-Federal style residence; its Georgian portico was a 1916 addition.
