History
First publication: The Vagrant #11, November 1919
Review
This is Lovecraft finally writing something of his Mythos and reaching his mature style. An excellent story, understated like Hodgeson might be, but with enough description to really fire one’s imagination about the hidden world around us in the Mythos. A must read for any fan of classic horror.
