The Secret Member

J. Vernon Shea

First published October 1979
Type Essay

This initially appears to be a serious essay about H.P. Lovecraft's illegitimate half-brother, and the effect he had on Lovecraft, but the last line of the work is "The end of a hoax" so it may be that the whole thing is a hoax or joke. Up to the last line there is no hint that this is anything but a factual article. (DES May 2008)
