To Hold Ye White Husk

"To Hold Ye White Husk" is a short Cthulhu Mythos story by American author W. H. Pugmire.
==Synopsis==
Two sailors whose ship has been sunk wash ashore on an island which feels intrinsically wrong. There, they stumble across what appears to be some kind of dark fane, and the desiccated corpse of one of their former crewmates. As the corpse begins to chant, so does one of the sailors, and the two eventually lapse into madness as something evil circles the temple.
==Characters==
*The Narrator, and unnamed seaman.
*Johnny Roberts, the Narrators' companion.
*Gustav Sturhman, a sailor who died from his injuries at sea. Likely a cultist to some dark god.
==Publication History==
"To Hold Ye White Husk" was published in the thematic collection World War Cthulhu, edited by Brian M. Sammons and Glynn Owen Barrass, in 2014.
==Trivia==
*Although the time period in which the story is set is never stated, the sailors ship was torpedoed and their lifeboat required rowing, so it most likely takes place at some point during the 20th century.
