The story has since been reprinted and anthologized a number of times, and during the 1940s it was dramatized on a radio program called The House of Mystery. Lovecraft’s own story, The Rats in the Walls, was once performed on another program, called Suspense, by a cast headed by Ronald Colman.

Another Hyperborean story, The Coming of the White Worm, which was not published until 1941, was actually sented as an entire chapter from the Book of Eibon!

Happily for us long-suffering Lovecraft scholars, in the last year of his life Lovecraft set down in a letter to a friend a list of his completed stories (fifty in all), with the date of the writing of each story; so we do not have to comb his correspondence in an effort to establish the correct dating of his tales.

Years after Lovecraft’s death, when August Derleth came to compose the novel The Lurker at the Threshold, which was published in book form by Arkham House as a posthumous collaboration, he used “the Rev. Ward Phillips” as the author of one of those imaginary tomes wherewith the Lovecraftian library is so richly filled: Thaumaturgical Prodigies in the New-English Canaan. It reads rather like a work of Cotton Mather, from the few quotations from it we possess.
