It was a town of wide extent and dense construction, yet one with a portentous dearth of civilized life. From the tangle of residences scarcely a wisp of smoke came, and various structures loomed stark and unpainted against the seaward horizon. The vast huddle of rotting, sagging roofs conveyed with offensive clearness the idea of wormy decadence. Stretching inland, I saw the rusted, grass-grown line of an abandoned walking path, with leaning telephone poles now devoid of wires....

The decay was worst close to the waterfront, though in its very midst I could spy the concrete mass of a fairly well-preserved pier structure which looked like an imposing bridge to nowhere. The harbor mouth, long clogged with sand, was enclosed by an ancient stone breakwater, on which I could discern the minute forms of a few seated fishermen.

Their civilization was ancient, decadent, and unspeakably evil. Of course, history books say the U.S. government torpedoed Devil's Reef in 1928, but some locals whisper that remnants of the Deep Ones abode survive to this day....
