📋 About This Mod
Selected works of H. P. Lovecraft, now in Skyrim! Most of these can be found on the shelf in Farengar's room in Dragonsreach, directly to your left as you enter the room. I've also placed a chest to the right of that shelf with all of the books for easier access/placement. Additionally, these can now be bought from the merchants listed below, but will always be collected at Farengar's for easy reference.
