The Innsmouth Covenant

"The Innsmouth Covenant" is a short Cthulhu Mythos story by American author Jennifer M. Oaks. It was self-published in the chapbook collection The Brides of Innsmouth (year unknown), along with a companion piece, "The Diary of Hannah Greeley".
==Synopsis==
In 1846, thirteen year old Hannah Greeley and her widowed father move to the small coastal town of Innsmouth, Massachusetts in the hopes of starting a new life. Over the next few years, they settle in to their new home, and her father marries an Innsmouth woman. As she begins to reach her majority, Hannah begins to suspect that there is something wrong with the natives, and that monsters lurk amongst the townsfolk. On her eighteenth birthday, she is dragged off to Devil Reef and forced by her father to marry a man - who may not be entirely human - against her will. Held captive on the reef and forced to give birth to inhuman offspring, Hannah recounts her experiences in a diary.
==Trivia==
*Hannah's diary is reused as a plot device for "The Innsmouth Covenant"'s companion piece "The Diary of Hannah Greeley"; indeed, much of that story consists of sections of text taken in their entirety from this one.
