Massachusetts proved surprisingly infertile ground, but I did manage to dig up names such as Little Rest (for the wicked inhabitants here), The X (marks the burial spot), Gill Station (where Lovecraft's Deep Ones come ashore?), Crooks Corner (every abode is a den of thieves), Edgartown (a populace of Poe worshippers?), Plowed Neck (where farm life often turns deadly), and Smalltown (the American Gothic setting allegorized). Such slim pickings, though, made it easy to choose the following as this week's winner:
Satans Kingdom. Where midnight mass has nothing to do with Christmas observance. A place where pandemonium always reigns, and iniquity is ubiquitous, giving new meaning to the phrase "hell on earth."
