This is the second release in Jay222 and my Lovecraft figure project which works as a kind of education about Lovecraft regarding non CTHULHU stuff because that seems like all that people associate the name with...Brown Jenkins is from a story called, Dreams in The Witch House...A story about an old witch, her familiar and a college student who is going to learn that sorcery and mathematics do mix...the hard way...I love this story...Stuart Gordon did a short fiolm version of it for that Masters Of Horror thing for HBO, which you should check out...This is a Spectral Creeping version of Brown Jenkins...This is what I imagine him to look like when he is traveling between worlds with Keziah Mason, A witch of unparalleled abilities to travel utilizing evil sorcery and geometry/mathematics...He is glowing and transcendental..an unnatural glow to his evil..Here is an excerpt from the story describing him......
"That object - no larger than a good-sized rat and quaintly called by the townspeople "Brown Jenkins - seemed to have been the fruit of a remarkable case of sympathetic herd-delusion, for in 1692 no less than eleven persons had testified to glimpsing it. There were recent rumours, too, with a baffling and disconcerting amount of agreement. Witnesses said it had long hair and the shape of a rat, but that its sharp-toothed, bearded face was evilly human while its paws were like tiny human hands. It took messages betwixt old Keziah and the devil, and was nursed on the witch's blood, which it sucked like a vampire. Its voice was a kind of loathsome titter, and it could speak all languages. Of all the bizarre monstrosities in Gilman's dreams, nothing filled him with greater panic and nausea than this blasphemous and diminutive hybrid, whose image flitted across his vision in a form a thousandfold more hateful than anything his waking mind had deduced from the ancient records and the modern whispers."
