originally published SIN and Ashes, Hippocampus Press, 2010
Prof. Bergin hires Will, a low-life, to kill his enemy, Prof. Daniel Washington, and take something from him (a rare book). However, when Will goes to carry out the task, he learns from Prof. Washington that he (Will), a child of a rape, is actually the son of Prof. Bergin. Washington gives him the means of revenge. As Bergin is devoured by a tentacled mist-thing, Will heads back to Prof. Washington to begin his further Cthuloid education.
Very minor stuff. Pulver tries to write hard-boiled style, but just comes off weak. The story is too flimsy to really hold water.
