In a crumbling Southern mansion, an aged man recounts a tale so horrific it can scarcely be believed a story of forbidden knowledge, inherited evil, and the monstrous consequence of uncovering truths meant to stay buried. What begins as a romance between a sensitive artist and an enigmatic woman soon spirals into a nightmare of mythic proportions. Co-written by H. P. Lovecraft and Zealia Bishop, this deeply unsettling story melds elements of Greek legend with the darkest corners of Lovecraft's mythos. The coiling horror at its heart-part racial allegory, part cosmic dread-makes it one of the most controversial and eerie works in Lovecraft's canon. Themes of ancient bloodlines, primal fear, and supernatural vengeance converge in a tale that is as symbolic as it is terrifying. Read with caution-what lies at the end of the narrative is as shocking as it is unforgettable.
