History
First publication: The Atlantic Monthly, January 1858
Review
This story has been talked about a lot as an early science fiction story and is one of Lovecraft’s favorite stories. The reality is that it is just an excuse for the author to titillate the reader with a damsel in distress and an erotic fantasy. Read at your own risk.
