"Amoung the papers of the late Howard Phillip Lovecraft were various notes and or outlines for stories which he did not live to write. Of these, the most complete was the title story of this collection."

The Survivor
Wentworth's Day
The Peabody Heritage
The Gable Window
The Ancestor
The Shaddow Out of Space
The Lamp of Alhazred

"Certain houses, like certain persons, manage somehow to proclaim at once their character for evil. Perhaps it is the aroma of evil deeds committed under a particular roof, long after the actual doers have passed away, that makes the gooseflesh come and the hair rise. Something of the original passion of the evil-doer, and of the horror felt by his victim, enters the heart of the innocent watcher, and he becomes suddenly conscious of tingling nerves, creeping skin, and a chilling of the blood..."

—ALGERNON BLACKWOOD

Preface from The Survivor, H.P. Lovecraft and August Derleth.
