| asenath hp lovecraft: The Thing on the Doorstep H. P. Lovecraft, 2025 When Daniel Upton’s closest friend, Edward Derby, undergoes a disturbing transformation after marrying the enigmatic Asenath Waite, he begins to suspect that something unnatural is at play. As Edward’s behavior grows more erratic and terrifying secrets come to light, Daniel is forced to confront a horror beyond human comprehension—one that reaches beyond life, death, and identity itself. H.P. LOVECRAFT [1890-1937], born in Providence, Rhode Island, was an American writer known for his horror, fantasy, and science fiction stories.

Lovecraft. Ignoring secondary accounts and various received truths, Gavin Callaghan goes back to the weird texts themselves, and follows where Lovecraft leads him: into an arcane world of parental giganticism and inverted classicism, in which Lovecraft's parental obsessions were twisted into the all-powerful cosmic monsters of his imaginary cosmology. |

| asenath hp lovecraft: H. P. Lovecraft and the Black Magickal Tradition John L. Steadman, 2015-09-01 Modern practicing occultists have argued that renowned horror writer H. P. Lovecraft was in possession of in-depth knowledge of black magick. Literary scholars claim that he was a master of his genre and craft, and his findings are purely psychological, nothing more. Was Lovecraft a practitioner of the dark arts himself? Was he privileged to knowledge that cannot be otherwise explained? Weaving the life story of Lovecraft in and out of an analysis of various modern magickal systems, scholar John Steadman has found direct and concrete examples that demonstrate that Lovecraft’s works and specifically his Cthulhu Mythos and his creation of the Necronomicon are a legitimate basis for a working magickal system. Whether you believe Lovecraft had supernatural powers or not, no one can argue against Lovecraft’s profound influence on many modern black arts and the darker currents of western occultism. |

| asenath hp lovecraft: The Thing on the Doorstep Howard Phillips Howard Phillips Lovecraft, 2017-07-25 How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About The Thing on the Doorstep by Howard Phillips Lovecraft The Thing on the Doorstep is a story written by Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Daniel Upton, the story's narrator, explains that he has killed his best friend, Edward Derby, and that he hopes his account will prove that he is not a murderer. He begins by describing Derby's life and career. He then tells of Asenath Waite, a female classmate of Derby's at Miskatonic University, and how the two had wed. Asenath brings with her three unpleasant servants from her home in Innsmouth, Massachusetts. A few years later, people start to notice a change in Derby's abilities. Derby confides in Upton, telling him strange stories of Asenath, and how he believes her father, Ephraim Waite, may not actually be dead. Upton is later called to pick up Derby, who has been found in Chesuncook, Maine, rambling incoherently. On the trip back, Derby tells of Asenath using his body, and suggests that it is in fact Ephraim who resides in the body of Asenath. Before finishing, he has a small seizure and rapidly changes personality, asking Upton to ignore what he might have just said. |
| asenath hp lovecraft: H. P. Lovecraft: The Decline of the West S. T. Joshi, 2016-05-28 The author writes: This book began as an expansion of my essay, H. P. Lovecraft: The Decline of the West, in The Weird Tale, but very quickly became something quite different, to the degree that the two works have little save the title in common. I have always been interested in Lovecraft the philosopher, and in my Starmont Reader’s Guide to Lovecraft (1982) I attempted a very compressed account of his philosophical views. To treat so complex a thinker as Lovecraft in a few pages was obviously untenable, even though I think those few pages at least convey the unity of his thought -- perhaps better than this fuller study does. One reviewer, however, was correct in noting that I did not sufficiently integrate Lovecraft’s thought and his fiction, and I have now attempted to remedy the failing. I am still not convinced that I have really written one rather than two books here. Does Lovecraft’s fiction really depend upon his philosophy? I wrestle with this question further in my introduction, but here I can note that I had great difficulty deciding upon the proper structure for this book. I deal with four principal facets of Lovecraft's philosophy -- metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, and politics -- in Part I, and those same facets as applied to the fiction in Part II. It might have made more sense to juxtapose the corresponding chapters of each part, but I finally determined that this would be both methodologically and practically unsound; methodologically for reasons explained in the introduction, and practically because it would fail to demonstrate the interconnectedness of Lovecraft’s thought and because in Part II I frequently rely upon conceptions expressed throughout the whole of Part I. In Part I, the author deals with four principal facets of Lovecraft's philosophy: metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, and politics. In Part II, he studies those same facets as applied to the fiction. |
| asenath hp lovecraft: The Medial Afterlives of H.P. Lovecraft Tim Lanzendörfer, Max José Dreysse Passos de Carvalho, 2023-02-09 Medial Afterlives of H.P. Lovecraft brings together essays on the theory and practice of adapting H.P. Lovecraft’s fiction and the Lovecraftian. It draws on recent adaptation theory as well as broader discourses around media affordances to give an overview over the presence of Lovecraft in contemporary media as well as the importance of contemporary media in shaping what we take Lovecraft’s legacy to be. Discussing a wide array of medial forms, from film and TV to comics, podcasts, and video and board games, and bringing together an international group of scholars, the volume analyzes individual instances of adaptation as well as the larger concern of what it is possible to learn about adaptation from the example of H.P. Lovecraft, and how we construct Lovecraft and the Lovecraftian today in adaptation. Medial Afterlives of H.P. Lovecraft is focused on an academic audience, but it will nonetheless hold interest for all readers interested in Lovecraft today. |
| asenath hp lovecraft: The Thing on the Doorstep H. P. Lovecraft, 2018-08-06 The Thing on the Doorstep by H.P. Lovecraft Excerpt inations. It was after the first year that people began talking about the change in Edward Derby. It was very casual talk, for the change was purely psychological; but it brought up some interesting points. Now and then, it seemed Edward was observed to wear an expression and to do things wholly incompatible with his usual flabby nature. For example - although in the old days he could not drive a car, he was now seen occasionally to dash into or out of the old Crowninshield driveway with Asenath's powerful Packard, handling it like a master, and meeting traffic entanglements with a skill and determination utterly alien to his accustomed nature. In such cases he seemed always to be just back from some trip or just starting on one - what sort of trip, no one could guess, although he mostly favoured the Innsmouth road.

| asenath hp lovecraft: Encyclopedia of the Zombie June Michele Pulliam, Anthony J. Fonseca, 2014-06-19 A fascinating read for anyone from general readers to hardcore fans and scholars, this encyclopedia covers virtually every aspect of the zombie as cultural phenomenon, including film, literature, folklore, music, video games, and events. The proliferation of zombie-related fiction, film, games, events, and other media in the last decade would seem to indicate that zombies are the new vampires in popular culture. The editors and contributors of Encyclopedia of the Zombie: The Walking Dead in Popular Culture and Myth took on the prodigious task of covering all aspects of the phenomenon, from the less-known historical and cultural origins of the zombie myth to the significant works of film and literature as well as video games in the modern day that feature the insatiable, relentless zombie character. The encyclopedia examines a wide range of significant topics pertaining to zombies, such as zombies in the pulp magazines; the creation of the figure of the zuvembie to subvert decades of censorship by the Comics Code of Authority; Humans vs. Zombies, a popular zombie-themed game played on college campuses across the country; and annual Halloween zombie walks. Organized alphabetically to facilitate use of the encyclopedia as a research tool, it also includes entries on important scholarly works in the expanding field of zombie studies. |
| asenath hp lovecraft: In the Mountains of Madness W. Scott Poole, 2016-08-22 This “smart, shrewd, and insightful” biography of H.P. Lovecraft not only explores the author’s fascinating life but also reveals his “lasting power and influence” on the entertainment industry and society as a whole (Victor LaValle, author of The Changeling) Interweaving the biography of the legendary writer with an exploration of Lovecraft as a phenomenon, In the Mountains of Madness strives to explain this reclusive, cultish figure while challenging some of the general views held by Lovecraft devotees. Focusing specifically on the large cross-section of horror and science fiction fans who know Lovecraft through films, role-playing games, and video games directly influenced by his work, but who know little or nothing about the man himself, In the Mountains of Madness places Lovecraft and his work in a cultural context, as an artist more in tune with our time than his own. More than a traditional biography, this provocative book reclaims the true essence of Lovecraft in relation to the comics of Joe Lansdale, the novels of Stephen King, and some of the biggest blockbuster films in contemporary America, proving the undying influence of this rare and significant figure. |

At first I shall be called a madman-madder than the man I shot in his cell at the Arkham Sanitarium.

| asenath hp lovecraft: Horror as Racism in H. P. Lovecraft John L. Steadman, 2024-01-11 Providing a new perspective on Lovecraft's life and work, Horror as Racism in H.P. Lovecraft focuses on the overlap between the writer's personal beliefs and the racist images and narratives in his speculative fiction. Building on recent debates about Lovecraft and drawing on the concept of white fragility, John Steadman argues that the writer's fiction reflects his feelings of resentment and anger towards non-white persons and was used to advocate for his racist, xenophobic political beliefs – that western civilization was in decline and slavery was justifiable among superior civilizations. In making these claims, Lovecraft's tales pit humans against extra-terrestrial aliens, developing a terrifying, futuristic vision of the Earth as a plantation planet. The familiar image of Lovecraft as a reclusive, creative genius and mentor to young writer-friends is dismantled through close readings of his fiction and nonfiction – including correspondence, essays, and poetry – and examination of his early biography. This image is replaced by that of a cruel, callous, and, at times, psychotic man, a violently vitriolic racist and white supremacist who hated most of the non-white races. While some will dismiss the author outright and others will read his fiction but ignore the racism, Horror as Racism in H.P. Lovecraft takes a middle ground: acknowledging Lovecraft's personal history and heinous intentions, it helps readers navigate the author's disturbing biography while also getting a better sense of the stories, which remain significant within American science fiction. |
| asenath hp lovecraft: Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family H. P. Lovecraft, 2020-09-02 Arthur Jermyn was a noble man whose family was full of strange people such as adventurers, sailors and people who joined the circus. But the family members were not only strange – madness was in all the Jermyns. People were glad there were not many of them. The line put forth no branches – and Arthur was the last of it. ‘Facts concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family’ is a horror short story written by H.P. Lovecraft. As Lovecraft’s both parents died in a mental hospital, it is believed that Lovecraft handled some of his own family issues in this very story. H.P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American horror writer. His best known works include ‘The Call of Cthulhu’ and ‘the Mountains of Madness’. Most of his work was originally published in pulp magazines, and Lovecraft rose into fame only after his death at the age of 46. He has had a great influence in both horror and science fiction genres. |

| asenath hp lovecraft: The Thing on the Doorstep H.P. Lovecraft, 2021-11-09 In his chilling novella The Thing on the Doorstep, H.P. Lovecraft masterfully intertwines elements of gothic horror with cosmic dread, exploring themes of identity, the occult, and human vulnerability. The narrative revolves around the protagonist, Daniel Upton, who grapples with his wife Asenath's sinister lineage and her unsettling ability to manipulate the dead. Lovecraft employs an atmospheric prose style, rich in sensory details and archaic language, creating a palpable sense of foreboding that immerses the reader in the eerie, decaying world of Innsmouth. This work, written in the early 1930s, reflects Lovecraft's fascination with forbidden knowledge and the fragile boundaries between reality and the supernatural, characteristic of his broader literary contributions to weird fiction. Lovecraft, often regarded as a pivotal figure in 20th-century horror literature, drew inspiration from his personal experiences, including his own fears surrounding death and identity, and the encroaching modernity of his time. His troubled past, coupled with an extensive self-education in ancient mythologies and philosophy, enabled him to craft compelling narratives that challenge the very essence of existence. The Thing on the Doorstep exemplifies Lovecraft's signature approach to the horror genre, merging psychological tension with the existential threats posed by the unknown. This novella is a compelling read for anyone interested in the origins of modern horror and the interplay of madness and the supernatural. Lovecraft'Äôs unique, atmospheric storytelling beckons readers to confront their darkest fears while contemplating profound philosophical questions. Whether you are a longtime admirer of Lovecraft or a newcomer to his work, this tale will captivate and haunt you long after the final page. |

| asenath hp lovecraft: From Beyond H.P. Lovecraft, 2020-01-14 From Beyond is a horror short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. It was written in 1920 and was first published in The Fantasy Fan in June 1934. The story is told from the first-person perspective of an unnamed narrator and details his experiences with a scientist named Crawford Tillinghast. Tillinghast creates an electronic device that emits a resonance wave, which stimulates an affected person's pineal gland, thereby allowing them to perceive planes of existence outside the scope of accepted reality. Sharing the experience with Tillinghast, the narrator becomes cognizant of a translucent, alien environment that overlaps our own recognized reality. From this perspective, he witnesses hordes of strange and horrific creatures that defy description. Tillinghast reveals that he has used his machine to transport his house servants into the overlapping plane of reality. He also reveals that the effect works both ways, and allows the alien creature denizens of the alternate dimension to perceive humans. Tillinghast's servants were attacked and killed by one such alien entity, and Tillinghast informs the narrator that it is right behind him. Terrified beyond measure, the narrator picks up a gun and shoots it at the machine, destroying it. Tillinghast dies immediately thereafter as a result of apoplexy. The police investigate the scene and it is placed on record that Tillinghast murdered the servants in spite of their remains never being found.

| asenath hp lovecraft: Aliens, Robots & Virtual Reality Idols in the Science Fiction of H. P. Lovecraft, Isaac Asimov and William Gibson John L. Steadman, 2020-10-30 “Steadman’s comprehensive guide wrestles with the concept of the ‘alien’, applying cutting edge theoretical and philosophical ideas to the work of some of the greats of Science Fiction to arrive at a set of exciting new discoveries about what the genre says it means to be ‘human’. Reading Aliens, Robots and Virtual Reality Idols guarantees that you will never look at the writing of Lovecraft, Asimov or Gibson in the same way again.” --Dr David Simmons, Senior Lecturer in English and Screen Studies, University of Northampton H. P. Lovecraft's aliens are extra-terrestrial, terrestrial & trans-dimensional entities, totally unlike any other aliens in science fiction literature. In contrast, Isaac Asimov's and William Gibson's aliens are human created positronic robots and virtual reality constructs, or 'idols'. Lovecraft's great theme is alien indifferentism, tinged with a malevolence that escalates into an existential, apocalyptic threat against humankind, while for Asimov and Gibson, alien inclusionism is the norm. The robots and the VR idols integrate into society and their influence appears to be beneficial. But this is only on the surface. In this book, John L. Steadman demonstrates that there is ultimately little difference between alien indifferentism and alien inclusionism in the fictional works of these three great writers. For in fact, the robots and the VR idols evolve into monsters whose actions bring about outcomes which are every bit as terrifying as anything in Lovecraft's work. Humans tend to be isolates ('alien'-ated). The reader is invited to question this, and to consider the possibility that an alien perspective, or platform, might, perhaps, be crucial if we intend on seeing ourselves clearly and understanding exactly what it means to be human. |

In Lovecraft's vision we live in a deep, but fragile illusion, unable to comprehend the ancient beings, such as the Cthulhu who lies dead but dreaming in the submerged city of R'lyeh, waiting to rise then wreak havoc on our realm of existence. Lovecraft used the mythos to create a background to his fiction, and challenged many writer companions to add their own stories. Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard, Robert Bloch, Frank Belknap Long, Henry Kuttner were amongst the first but over the years many others such as Ramsey Campbell, Lin Carter and August Derleth added their voices to the many mythic cycles, developing themes and new fictional pathways for the town of Arkham, and the creatures Azathoth and Nyarlathotep. The Lovecraft Mythos is fertile ground for any writer of supernatural, horror, fantasy and science fiction, so for this edition we opened our submissions for brand new stories, many published here for the first time, to continue expanding the shared universe. |

| asenath hp lovecraft: The Darkest Part of the Woods Ramsey Campbell, 2007-04-01 Ramsey Campbell is the world's most honored living horror writer, with more than twenty World Fantasy, British Fantasy, Bram Stoker, and other awards to his credit. Hailed as one of the most literate and literary writers of our time, in genre and out, Campbell has been acclaimed as a master of dark fantasy by Clive Barker, one of today's finest writers of supernatural horror and psychological suspense by the Charleston Post & Courier, the master of a skewed and exquisitely terrifying style by Library Journal, one of the world's foremost horror writers by the San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle, and a master of mood by Publishers Weekly. In The Darkest Part of the Woods, Campbell introduces readers to the Price family, whose lives have for decades been snarled with the fate of the ancient forest of Goodmanswood. Here, Dr. Lennox Price discovered a hallucinogenic moss that quickly became the focus of a cult-and though the moss and the trees on which it grew are long gone, it seems as if the whole forest can now affect the minds of visitors. After Lennox is killed trying to return to his beloved wood, his widow seems to see and hear him in the trees-or is it a dark version of the Green Man that caresses her with leafy hands? Lennox's grandson heeds a call to lie in his lover's arms in the very heart of the forest-and cannot help but wonder what the fruit of that love will be. And Heather, Lennox's daughter, who turned her back on her father's mysteries and sought sanctuary in the world of facts and history? Goodmanswood summons her as well . . .

| asenath hp lovecraft: H.P. Lovecraft & the Black Magickal Tradition John L. Steadman, 2015-09-01 A Lovecraft scholar presents a penetrating study of the author’s life, work, and connections to modern occultism. Many practicing occultists have speculated that H. P. Lovecraft possessed in-depth knowledge of black magick. Yet literary scholars maintain the renowned horror writer was simply a master of his craft, and that the enduring power of his work is purely the result of his rich imagination. In H.P. Lovecraft & the Black Magical Tradition, John L. Steadman examines the considerable overlap between the author’s fictions and true occultism—and consider whether Lovecraft was a practitioner of the dark arts himself. Weaving Lovecraft’s biography together with literary criticism and modern magickal systems, Steadman demonstrates that Lovecraft’s works—specifically his Cthulhu Mythos and his creation of the Necronomicon—represent the basis for a legitimate magickal system. |
