    I heard HPL wrote this for St.Patrick's day. There was a gathering of other authors that day. I'd be interested to know who the other authors were and if they wrote any stories for the holiday.

    Ah, so that is why I forgot it. The locale was fantastic, the plot was tense, the mystery fascinating and it ends... with frogs. A bit underwhelming, and perhaps overexplained.
