Introduction (#ulink_ecb0abad-6f71-5504-aaac-8716fc51d343)

The stories in this collection are for the most part secondary to H. P. Lovecraft’s major fiction. They represent every vein that Lovecraft made his own, and many of them are certainly among the best short stories of the macabre written in the twentieth century. An equal number belong to a group which Lovecraft himself frequently deprecated in his letters to his correspondents, over and above the habitual modesty with which Lovecraft looked upon his work. At least two of them – Herbert West: Reanimator and the ghost-written piece for Houdini, Imprisoned with the Pharaohs – were written to order, which was a rare departure from Lovecraft’s customary writing habits.

These stories are arranged here chronologically, based on the following complete chronology set down by Lovecraft with the fragmentary story, The Evil Clergyman, which was part of a letter not intended for publication, appended.

Dagon, 1917
