Witches' Hollow

"Witches' Hollow" is a short story by August Derleth, presented as a "posthumous collaboration" with H.P. Lovecraft. It was first published in Arkham House's 1962 anthology Dark Mind, Dark Heart. It tells the story of an Arkham schoolteacher's efforts to save a student from a malignant influence.
==Inspiration==
As with most of Derleth's "posthumous collaborations", "Witches' Hollow" is a short story written by Derleth based on an idea from Lovecraft's Commonplace Book. It seems to be inspired by two entries:
==Characters==
*Mr. Williams, a teacher at District School Number Seven, west of Arkham
*Andrew Potter, a student of Mr. Williams'
*Wizard Potter, Andrew's late grandfather
*Martin Keane, a Miskatonic University professor with a ready supply of star stones
