Brown Jenkins: 2nd Release From the Lovecraft Education Project |

Following the sold-out release of their first H.P. Lovecraft-inspired collaboration, Skinner and Jay222 return with Brown Jenkins. I’m passing the conch shell to Skinner, so he can tell you the story:

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 film 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. It’s what I imagine him to look like when he’s 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.

Are you confused about what you’re reading/seeing? You might want to glance back at my quick interview with Skinner about the H.P. Lovecraft Project. Click through for more photos and information about the Brown Jenkins release!

Here’s an excerpt from Dreams in the Witch House describing Brown Jenkins:

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.

And here’s Jay222 at Skinner’s book release with an unpainted Brown Jenkins. The 4.5-inch resin figures are hand-cast and hand-painted in an edition of only 10 pieces. They’ll be available Monday, February 20th at 12PM PST for $100 each here.
