Defending shadow over inssmouth, specifically, is weird because that is the one where the scary part is supposed to be the main dude finding out he's the offspring of a monkey-princess from Africa. The most obvious, straight up not even subtle racist twist.
It is a good story... Up until the end and you're meant to be scared by "oh no my grandma was black!"
You’re thinking of Arthur Jermyn. Innsmouth is the fish people that the neighbouring town thought was simply a product of spending so much time fraternising with the Chinese.
Black? The twist was he was a fishman.
