1 | April 20, 1908 | THE DIARY OF ALONZO TYPER 1938 Literature | 20th Century: 1st Half | Events | |
April 20, 1908 Alonzo Typer attempts to go to the gate for his supplies, but finds the briers twisted tightly in his path. It is the same in every direction - behind and on all sides of the house. In places the brown, barbed vines had uncurled to astonishing heights - forming a steel-like hedge against his egress. Later, he reads a book called the Pnakotic Manuscripts or of the Eltdown Shards in the great shadowy library at the rear of the ground floor of the van der Heyl mansion. |
