Black Noon

Black Noon is an unfinished novella by the late American author C.M. Eddy, Jr. 
==Synopsis==
Black Noon has as its central conceit a fictionalized version of Eddy ("Biff Briggs") and H. P. Lovecraft ("Robert Otis Mather" or "ROM" for short) seeking (but not finding) a town called Granville, during which search the H. P. Lovecraft stand-in faces death several times. His near-death "accidents" are not really accidents at all and it is clear, before the unfinished work ends, that something means to frustrate their quest.
==Behind the Mythos==
Black Noon was based on the real-life search for the legendary location known as The Dark Swamp, undertaken by Eddy and Lovecraft in August of 1923. The Dark Swamp was one of the inspirations for the early part of Lovecraft's story "The Colour Out of Space".
==Publication History==
Black Noon was included in the anthologies Exit into Eternity: Tales of the Bizarre and Supernatural (1973, 2000) and Acolytes of Cthulhu (2001).
==Trivia==
*The story features Eddy's fictional town of Fenham which is also used in some of his other stories, chief among them "The Loved Dead".
