Muriel Kreiner

Muriel Tarr Kreiner (ca. 1898-1963) was the wife of Otto Kreiner. When she became the mother of Fitz Kreiner at the age of thirty-eight, her history of illness and age made it difficult. After Otto's death and her third lapse into illness, young Fitz finally had to be put in care. The Benelisa program resulted in her death in 1963. (PROSE: The Taint)

She had once taken Fitz to a second-hand bookshop where he glanced at a Lovecraft book. She "whalloped" him because she thought it was a book about sex. (PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5)
