"The Alchemist" was a "validation" of Lovecraft's literary skills in the United Amateur Press Association, i.e., a literary text based on which the author's writing predispositions were assessed and a decision was made about whether to accept him into the said association or reject his candidacy.

The story takes place in the future, when people are colonizing other planets in the Solar System. A soldier from a unit stationed on Venus is sent to retrieve a crystal that holds strategic importance for humans but falls into a trap set by the native lizard-like people – a labyrinth with invisible walls. The original version of the story, written by the young Kenneth Sterling (based on the idea from Edmond Hamilton's story "The Monster-God of Mamurth"), was half as long. Lovecraft rewrote the work, preserving as many original elements as possible.

Reflective, unhurried, and artistically rich tale about a painter who rests in a cottage by the ocean, sensing mysterious presences on the beach and in the water. The story focuses on the sensations and intuitions of the main character, imbuing the whole narrative with an evocative taste of elusive dread, quite distinct from overt horror.

H. P. Lovecraft, born August 20, 1890, began composing rudimentary horror tales by the age of 8. He’s best remembered for cooking up his very own genre, Cosmic Horror, featuring monsters so powerful and terrifying that just seeing them will likely drive you insane. Lovecraft in early adulthood was established in a reclusive 'nightbird' lifestyle without occupation or pursuit of romantic adventures. He was 31 at the time of his first publication in a professional magazine. By age 34, he was a regular contributor to newly founded Weird Tales magazine.

Em nova edição, O chamado de Cthulhu da Hedra apresenta a figura mais popular de Lovecraft em publicação bilíngue e com nova e detalhada introdução. Cthulhu é a mais famosa dentre as criaturas e ambientes de sonho — ou pesadelo — de H. P. Lovecraft, além de ser o centro da série sobre os Grandes Antigos, as gigantescas e incompreensíveis criaturas anteriores a esta Terra. É a cristalização, numa imagem, de um tipo específico de terror chamado "cósmico": mas um cósmico íntimo e literário.

Lovecraft's environment, under meaningful pseudonyms.

George Campbell sets out with a tent into the Canadian forests to find respite from work. There, he comes across a crystalline cube that exhibits extraordinary properties – the longer one gazes at it, the more it glows, beginning to hypnotize the observer. Campbell is reminded of the story of the so-called Eltdown Shards, whose alleged translation spoke of crystalline cubes and a race of entities sending minds into the Universe for exploration using such cubes.

An absurd (and unfinished) story about the threat posed by the infinite network of scissor-shaped spacecraft with completely alien shapes faced by the civilization of plant-animal creatures. A mockery ridiculing the popular space opera of the 1930s. Although Lovecraft and Barlow intended to write one paragraph each, the latter created the majority of the work.

A doctor who treats a person afflicted with leprosy using macabre methods is an unstable physician. Although Rimel admitted that he wrote the story himself and Lovecraft only made stylistic corrections, the work is characterized by the very distinct style of the latter. Even though the writer from Providence congratulated his junior colleague on the text and claimed to have made only minor corrections, it could have been a typical courtesy on his part. A supporter of the hypothesis of Lovecraft's authorship is that Rimel did not create anything else in a similar style.

Lovecraft's story regarding a tram conductor whose head transforms into tentacles, recorded in a letter dated November 25, 1927, to Donald Wandrei.

Chapman Miske.

The tale of global climate change resulting from the Sun approaching Earth. Humanity is on the brink of extinction, and the main character embarks on a journey to a place where, according to legends, people live in better conditions. All presented in an ironic manner, typical of Lovecraft, who holds humanity in contempt.
