Clearly, Jon Adams had Ectomo in mind when designing this piece for McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern, a publication that has piqued my interest by dint of its quaint name alone.

In sheer defiance of the World Wide Web Consortium's will, Ectomo was designed using a non-web-standard font. Luckily, it is included in the excellent font pack released by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, which can be freely downloaded in Mac and PC formats here. Ectomo should still look fine without it, though.
McSweeneey’s is always a good read, be it in hoity-toity published format or lowly internet serialization.

I think Ectomo should sue them. Eggers is a pompous ass.
