Bolton

Bolton
   Actual town in east-central Massachusetts, cited by HPL in “Herbert West—Reanimator” (1921–22), “The Rats in the Walls” (1923), and “The Colour out of Space” (1927). The earlier story cites a Bolton Worsted Mills, but that mention is puzzling because in HPL’s day Bolton was a tiny agricultural hamlet with no industries of significance. This led Robert D.Marten (see entry on “Arkham”) to conjecture that HPL coined the name Bolton, unaware of the real town of that name. Its location appears to be near Arkham (Salem), as the real Bolton is not. HPL mentioned passing through Bolton in October 1934, so he may have known of it earlier.
