A brief account of HPL’s first visit to New Hampshire in the summer of 1927. It speaks in glowing terms of the beauty of the countryside as well as of the city of Brattleboro, and concludes with a paean to “Vermont’s gentle poet,” Arthur Goodenough. Several paragraphs of the essay were incorporated, with significant revision, into “The Whisperer in Darkness” (1930).
“Very Old Folk, The.”
Short story (2,500 words); written on November 3, 1927. First published (in this form) in ScientiSnaps(Summer 1940); corrected text in MW
In the Roman province of Hispania Citerior (Spain), the proconsul, P.Scribonius Libo, summons a provincial quaestor named L.Caelius Rufus to the small town of Pompelo because of strange rumors in the hills above the town. There, a shadowy group of hill-dwellers, perhaps not fully human, named the Very Old Folk customarily kidnap a few villagers on the day before the Kalends of Maius (May Eve) and the Kalends of November (Halloween). But this year, it is the day before the Kalends of November and no villager has been taken. This very lack of activity is suspicious, and Rufus is concerned that something far graver is afoot. He argues with the military tribune Sextus Asellius and with the legatus Cn. Balbutius, urging that the Roman army take strong action to suppress the Very Old Folk once and for all; after much debate, Rufus wins Libo to his side and prevails. As a cohort of Roman soldiers ascends the hills, the atmosphere becomes increasingly sinister; then some of the horses scream,the stars are blotted out of the night sky, a cold wind sweeps down upon the cohort, and the stoic Libo, facing some nameless horror, intones ponderously: “Malitia vetus—malitia vetus est…venit…tandem venit”(“The old evil—it is the old evil…it comes…it comes at last”). The “story” is in fact an account, in a letter to Donald Wandrei, of a remarkably vivid and longlasting dream that HPL had on Halloween night, inspired by the time of the year and by his reading of James Rhoades’s translation of Virgil’s Aeneid(1921). HPL recounted the dream (with slight variations in each account) to at least two other correspondents: Bernard Austin Dwyer (see SL 2.189–97) and Frank Belknap Long. HPL frequently mentioned that he hoped to use the kernel of the dream in a story, but he never did so; in 1929, Long received HPL’s permission to borrow the text of his dream-account for his novel, The Horror from the Hills( WT,January and February–March 1931; Arkham House, 1963), where it comprises the central section of chapter 5. HPL states that the events of the dream “must have been in the late republic”; i.e., prior to the commencement of Augustus’ reign as emperor of Rome (27 B.C.E.).
“Vivisector, The.”
Column appearing in five installments in the Wolverine(March, June, November 1921; March 1922; Spring 1923), all as by “Zoilus.”
Much confusion has existed as to which of the columns—if any—were written by HPL; but examination of correspondence by Horace L.Lawson (editor of the Wolverine) to HPL (at JHL) clarifies the matter. These documents testify that HPL wrote the columns for March and June 1921, March 1922, and Spring
< previous page page_286 next page > < previous page page_287 next page >
Page 287
1923. Lawson in fact regarded HPL as the “editor” of the column. The column for November 1921 was written by Alfred Galpin and is a review of the previous issues of the Wolverine;included is a lengthy discussion of HPL’s “Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family.” The first column discusses a variety of amateur journals; the second focuses on Galpin’s Philosopher (December 1920), and HPL characteristically disparages his own contributions to that paper, “Polaris” and “The House”; the columns for March 1922 and Spring 1923 are friendly analyses of the poetry of Lillian Middleton and Rheinhart Kleiner, respectively. The pseudonym “Zoilus” used in all the columns refers to the fourth-century B.C.E. Greek critic who severely criticized the Homeric poems, so that his name came to refer to any unduly censorious critic; but the articles themselves are on the whole genial and complimentary.
“Volunteer, The.”
Poem (48 lines in 6 stanzas); written in mid- to late January 1918. First published in the [Providence] Evening News(February 1, 1918); rpt. National Enquirer(February 7, 1918); rpt. Tryout(April 1918); rpt. Appleton[Wis.] Post(date unknown); St. Petersburg[Fla.] Evening Independent(date unknown); Trench and Camp(military paper at San Antonio, Tex.) (date unknown). The most reprinted poem in HPL’s lifetime; a response to “Only a Volunteer” by Sgt. Hayes P.Miller ( National Enquirer,January 17, 1918), which had suggested that all the sympathy and recognition went to American conscript soldiers rather than to volunteers. The last three appearances were cited in a note in the United Amateur(May 1918) and have not been located; the appearance in the Appleton Postwas presumably arranged by Maurice W.Moe, that in the St. Petersburg Evening Independentprobably by John Russell.

W
Waite, Asenath.
In “The Thing on the Doorstep,” the domineering woman who, at the age of twenty-three, marries the thirty-eight-year-old Edward Derby. Derby’s father does not approve of her because of the crowd to which she belongs, but he is unable to prevent their marriage. Asenath—whose family comes from Innsmouth—exchanges personalities with Derby, at first only intermittently. Derby kills her to thwart her attempt to effect a permanent exchange, but her will is so strong that she still manages to accomplish the exchange even after her death. But the personality that overtakes Derby is actually not Asenath at all, but her father Ephraim, who as his own death was approaching overtook his own weak-willed daughter’s body.
There are very few female characters in HPL’s fiction. None is as fully developed as Asenath, but even she is revealed to be no woman at all, but actually her father Ephraim. Derby’s resistance to Asenath’s strong will may evoke his own feelings to some of the dominating females in his own life, most notably his mother and his wife. The names Asenath and Ephraim are perhaps meant to parody a passage in Genesis, where Asenath is the wife of Joseph (41:45) and gives birth to Ephraim (46:20); HPL reverses the genealogy and makes Ephraim the father of Asenath.
Walakea.
In “The Shadow over Innsmouth,” the chief of a band of Kanakas dwelling on an island in the South Seas, whose inhabitants mate with loathsome sea-creatures and derive great bounties of fish and gold as a result. Walakea has no hybrid blood in him, as he is of a royal line that intermarries only with royal lines on other islands.
Walter, Dorothy C[harlotte] (1889–1967),
friend of HPL. In early 1934, at the urging of her friend W.Paul Cook, Walter wrote to HPL urging him to visit her at her temporary residence in Providence (Walter was a native of Vermont). But
< previous page page_288 next page > < previous page page_289 next page >
Page 289
on the day of the planned visit, HPL found the weather so cold that he could not venture outdoors without risk of serious illness, so he telephoned Walter and apologized effusively. He visited a few days later, an incident recounted in Walter’s “Three Hours with H.P.Lovecraft” (in SR;rpt. LR). Walter also wrote a sensitive piece on HPL’s relation to his native city, “Lovecraft and Benefit Street” ( Ghost, Spring 1943; rpt. LR).
Wandrei, Donald [Albert] (1908–1987),
weird poet and short story writer living chiefly in St. Paul, Minn., and correspondent of HPL (1926– 37). Wandrei had been corresponding with Clark Ashton Smith since 1924; in late 1926 Smith asked Wandrei to return some of HPL’s manuscripts directly to HPL after reading them. Wandrei did so, thereby initiating an association that lasted till HPL’s death. The two writers exchanged manuscripts, and HPL offered advice to Wandrei on some of his but did no revision. Wandrei had already written “The Chuckler,” a pseudo-sequel to HPL’s “The Statement of Randolph Carter,” although it remained unpublished until it appeared in Fantasy Magazine(September 1934). Wandrei had an extensive library of weird fiction and lent HPL several key volumes, notably F.Marion Crawford’s Wandering Ghosts(1911) and Charles Fort’s The Book of the Damned(1919). HPL was instrumental in securing the acceptance of Wandrei’s “The Twilight of Time” for WT(it appeared in the October 1927 issue under the title “The Red Brain”); Wandrei returned the favor when visiting the WToffices in the summer of 1927, urging Farnsworth Wright to accept HPL’s “The Call of Cthulhu,” which Wright had earlier rejected. Wandrei’s trip was part of a long hitchhiking expedition from St. Paul to Providence, with an extensive stop in New York to meet HPL’s friends (especially Samuel Loveman). Wandrei arrived in Providence on July 12, staying till July 29. Part of this time Frank Belknap Long and James F. Morton were also present. Some months later HPL put Wandrei in touch with August Derleth, initiating a lifelong relationship. HPL advised Wandrei to let W. Paul Cook publish his first volume of poetry, Ecstasy and Other Poems(1928). A second volume, Dark Odyssey(1931), was published in St. Paul.
After 1929 the correspondence became more sporadic. For a time Wandrei worked in the advertising department of E.P.Dutton in New York, but he gave up the job and returned to St. Paul to write. Wandrei published numerous horror tales in WT;HPL had a high regard for many of them, finding in them a cosmic quality lacking in much work of its kind (see SL3.196). In 1931–32 Wandrei wrote the weird novel Dead Titans, Waken!,partially inspired by HPL’s work; HPL admired it but suggested numerous revisions in style and proportioning. The novel was not published in this form, but appeared years later in a revised edition as The Web of Easter Island(1948). In 1932 Wandrei completed a mainstream novel, Invisible Sun;HPL also expressed approbation of this work (even though it contained much explicit sexual content), but it too remained unpublished. (This novel and Dead Titans, Waken!have now been published in one volume [Fedogan & Bremer, 2001].) In September 1932 Wandrei visited HPL again in Providence; he met HPL also occasionally during the latter’s year-end visits to New York in the 1930s. By this time he was doing much writing for the science fiction pulps, with such tales as “Colossus” ( Astounding Stories,January
< previous page page_289 next page > < previous page page_290 next page >
Page 290
1934) and “Infinity Zero” ( Astounding Stories,October 1936), as well as stories for the mystery pulps, many involving the detective Ivy Frost. He also appeared occasionally in high-paying mainstream markets; for example, ‘The Eye and the Finger” ( Esquire,December 1936). A horror tale, “The Tree-Men of M’Bwa” ( WT,February 1932), is regarded by some as Lovecraftian. HPL thought Wandrei’s later work had succumbed to pulp standards—a criticism that Wandrei found highly discouraging when he read it in HPL’s letters years later.
After HPL’s death August Derleth and Donald Wandrei founded Arkham House to publish HPL’s work in hard covers. Wandrei was particularly insistent that HPL’s letters be published, and he spent years editing HPL’s Selected Letters(1965–76), even though his enlistment in the army in 1942 curtailed his literary career and his other work for Arkham House. Wandrei’s literary career never resumed thereafter, largely because he needed to tend to his increasingly ailing mother and sister; he became a virtual recluse in his home in St. Paul. Arkham House published two collections of his weird tales, The Eye and the Finger(1944) and Strange Harvest(1965), and his poetry, Poems for Midnight (1964). Wandrei prepared texts of the last two volumes of HPL’s Selected Letters,and, although his name does not appear as editor, it seems that his texts were largely used as the basis of the selections. After Derleth’s death in 1971, Wandrei became embroiled in a bitter dispute with Derleth’s successors at Arkham House and ultimately severed his relations with the firm. Following his death, his work was gathered in more thematically coherent editions: Collected Poems(Necronomicon Press, 1988); Colossus(Fedogan & Bremer, 1989), his collected science fiction tales; Don’t Dream(Fedogan & Bremer, 1997), his collected horror and fantasy tales; and Frost(Fedogan & Bremer, 2000), a collection of his detective tales (others are forthcoming). The joint HPL-Wandrei correspondence is forthcoming as Mysteries of Time and Spirit(Fedogan & Bremer, 2002).
See Studies in Weird FictionNo. 3 (Fall 1988) (special Wandrei issue, with articles by Dennis Rickard, S.T.Joshi, Marc A.Michaud, Steve Behrends, and T.E.D.Klein); Richard L.Tierney, “Introduction” to Wandrei’s Colossus(1989); D.H.Olson, “Afterword: Of Donald Wandrei, August Derleth and H.P. Lovecraft,” in Wandrei’s Don’t Dream(1997).
Wandrei, Howard [Elmer] (1909–1956),
artist and late associate of HPL (1933–37). Howard, Donald Wandrei’s younger brother, had a turbulent youth, being arrested for burglary at the age of eighteen and spending three years in a reformatory. By this time, however, he had developed into a brilliant and distinctive pictorial artist, chiefly in pen-and-ink work. He illustrated Donald’s book of poetry, Dark Odyssey(1931), and then did some illustrations for the weird and science fiction pulps. He also took to writing, publishing numerous detective, horror, and science fiction tales in the pulp magazines. HPL met Wandrei for the first time in New York on December 27, 1933, and they corresponded sporadically thereafter. HPL had a high regard for Wandrei’s artwork (“he certainly has a vastly greater talent than anyone else in the gang. I was astonished at [the paintings’] sheer genius & maturity”: HPL to Annie E.P.Gamwell, [December 28, 1933; ms., JHL]); later, when he read some of Wandrei’s stories, he was also impressed (“I’m hang’d if I don’t think the kid is, all apart

Page 291
from his pictorial genius, getting to be a better writerthan big bwuvver!”: HPL to R.H.Barlow, April 20, 1935; ms., JHL). Wandrei’s weird tales have now been collected in Time Burial(Fedogan & Bremer, 1995); some of his detective tales are contained in The Last Pin(Fedogan & Bremer, 1996) and The Eerie Mr. Murphy(Fedogan & Bremer, 2001). Other volumes are forthcoming. Ward, Charles Dexter (1902–1928).
In The Case of Charles Dexter Ward,the great-great-great-grandson of Joseph Curwen. Ward’s discovery of a colonial portrait of Curwen (who is an exact double of Ward) spurs his search, beginning in 1919, for more information about a man so despised and feared that nearly all information about him had disappeared from the public record. Ward’s quest takes him to Europe to investigate Curwen’s correspondents overseas. He unearths Curwen’s papers and is able to resurrect Curwen from his “essential Saltes.” But Curwen kills Ward and attempts unsuccessfully to adopt his identity. Ward is not quite an autobiographical character, but his celebrated homecoming from Europe parallels HPL’s own joyous return to Providence shortly before the novel was written. Ward, Theodore Rowland.
In The Case of Charles Dexter Ward,the father of Charles Dexter Ward. Although initially encouraging his son in the latter’s discovery of various papers relating to his long-lost ancestor, Joseph Curwen, Ward is increasingly disturbed by his son’s strange behavior and asks the family doctor, Marinus Willett, to see if anything can be done to restore his son’s mental health. (Ward’s wife—never named—is still more disturbed, and on Willett’s advice she is sent for a rest in Atlantic City.) Ward accompanies Willett on an exploration of the abandoned Pawtuxet bungalow of Curwen and Ward, but the noxious odors emerging from an underground chamber cause him to faint, so that Willett is forced to conduct the investigation alone.
Warren, Harley.
In “The Statement of Randolph Carter,” the South Carolina mystic (so identified only in “Through the Gates of the Silver Key”) whose studies take him and Carter to an ancient cemetery (apparently in Florida, although this is never explicitly stated in the story). When Warren ventures underground, leaving Carter behind, he dies mysteriously, his death being announced from below ground by the hideous voice of an unknown entity. In the dream that inspired the story, it was HPL’s friend Samuel Loveman who went underground, leaving HPL behind.
“Waste Paper: A Poem of Profound Insignificance.”
Poem (134 lines); probably written in late 1922 or early 1923. First publication unknown; rpt. Books at Brown26 (1978): 48–52.
A devastating parody of T.S.Eliot’s The Waste Land,which, when it appeared in the Dial(November 1922), was billed a “poem of profound significance.” It is a pendant to HPL’s condemnation of Eliot’s poem in the editorial “Rudis Indigestaque Moles” ( Conservative,March 1923), in which he declares The Waste Landto be “a practically meaningless collection of phrases, learned allusions, quotations, slang, and scraps in general.” HPL’s poem (the only one of
< previous page page_291 next page > < previous page page_292 next page >
Page 292
his poems aside from “Plaster-All” [1922] written in free verse) is similarly composed of quotations (from Pope’s Odyssey,popular songs, etc.), self-referential allusions (“We called ourselves the Blackstone Military Band”), puns (including the pungent conclusion: “Nobody home/In the shantih,” parodying Eliot’s concluding “Shantih shantih shantih”), and the like. The epigraph is HPL’s Greek translation of his nihilistic utterance, “All is laughter, all is dust, all is nothing” (rendered into Latin as the epigraph to the “Aletheia Phrikodes” section of “The Poe-et’s Nightmare”). HPL claimed ( SL 4.159) the poem was published in “the newspaper” (probably the [Providence] Evening Bulletin), but exhaustive searches in this and other Providence papers have yielded nothing.
See Barton L. St. Armand and John H.Stanley, “H.P.Lovecraft’s Waste Paper:A Facsimile and Transcript of the Original Draft,” Books at Brown26 (1978): 31–47.
Webb, William Channing.
In “The Call of Cthulhu,” Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University. In 1860, he encounters the Cthulhu Cult in Greenland.
Weeden, Ezra.
In The Case of Charles Dexter Ward,the second mate of the Enterprisewho had hoped to marry Eliza Tillinghast, but who is pushed aside by the wealthy and influential Joseph Curwen. The envious Weeden undertakes an investigation of Curwen’s mysterious affairs, enlisting support for a raid on Curwen’s bungalow in Pawtuxet in 1771. A descendant, Hazard Weeden, of 598 Angell Street (HPL’s own residence from 1904 to 1924), expresses shock when unidentified persons desecrate the grave of his ancestor in the North Burial Ground.
Weir, John J. (1922–1977),
late correspondent of HPL (1936–37). Weir came in touch with HPL in December 1936 when he asked him for a contribution for his fan magazine, Fantasmagoria. HPL sent him the poem “Astrophobos,” which appeared in the magazine’s first issue (March 1937). Weir accepted other works by HPL (including “The Tree”), but no more issues appeared, as Weir seems to have lost his interest in weird fiction shortly after HPL’s death.
Weird Tales.
Pulp magazine (1923–54) in which many of HPL’s stories appeared.
WTwas founded in 1923 by J.C.Henneberger, who with J.M.Lansinger founded Rural Publications, Inc., in 1922 to publish a variety of popular magazines (including the successful College Humor). Henneberger had received promises from leading popular writers of the period—among them Hamlin Garland and Ben Hecht—that they would contribute “unconventional” stories to the new magazine; but as it happened, they did not contribute, and the only significant names to appear in the magazine (whose first issue was dated March 1923) were Vincent Starrett and such veterans of the Argosyand All-Storyas Don Mark Lemon and Harold Ward. Accordingly, WTwas, more than many other pulp magazines, open to the contributions of beginning writers.
HPL read and purchased it from its first issue, and was encouraged by numerous colleagues—Everett McNeil, James F.Morton, Clark Ashton Smith—to
< previous page page_292 next page > < previous page page_293 next page >
Page 293
submit to the magazine. He did so in May 1923, sending in five stories (“Dagon,” “The Statement of Randolph Carter,” “The Cats of Ulthar,” “Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family,” and “The Hound”). Edwin Baird, the magazine’s first editor, liked them all, but wished them to be double-spaced (the single-spaced typescripts survive at JHL). HPL grudgingly retyped the stories. His first published contribution to the magazine, however, was his snide cover letter accompanying the stories, published in the September 1923 issue. HPL quickly became a fixture in the magazine, appearing in most of the issues edited by Baird. The summit of his early involvement occurred in February 1924, when Henneberger commissioned him to ghostwrite “Under the Pyramids” for Harry Houdini, paying HPL $100 in advance.
Around this time HPL was offered the editorship of the magazine, but he declined. HPL has been criticized for so doing, since it would have given him a stable income at a time when, newly married, he needed one. But the job would have required his moving to Chicago, a prospect HPL did not fancy; moreover, the magazine was deeply in debt, and it might well have folded, leaving HPL stranded in Chicago and far from his wife in New York and family in Providence. In any event, Baird was dismissed in the spring of 1924 and Farnsworth Wright was appointed as interim editor, becoming the permanent editor in the fall. Wright was more idiosyncratic in his editorial criteria than Baird and was careful to offer readers what he thought they wanted; he rejected several tales by HPL (“The Shunned House,” At the Mountains of Madness,“The Shadow over Innsmouth”) because he thought them too long, not sufficiently “action”-packed, and (as with the initial rejections of “The Call of Cthulhu” and “Through the Gates of the Silver Key,” later accepted) too exotically imaginative for the average reader. Wright was also concerned about the gruesomeness of some of HPL’s tales (e.g., “In the Vault,” “Cool Air”), even though in other senses they seemed just the sort of relatively conventional stories that Wright would have wanted. But he had been alarmed at the near-banning of WTin Indiana as a result of its publication of the HPL-Eddy story “The Loved Dead” ( WT,May– June–July 1924), and from that time forward he was extremely careful not to accept stories that were too grisly. HPL was irritated and even wounded by these rejections, thinking that they reflected upon his own abilities as a creative artist. Wright, however, customarily rejected many stories with the understanding that writers would revise them and resubmit them; but HPL never did so, and those tales that were accepted after an initial rejection were accepted only because Wright asked to see them again.
Toward the end of his life HPL thought that the unconscious desire to write material suitable for WT had made his work too obvious and explanatory. In speaking of the rejection of a collection of his stories by Putnam’s in 1931, HPL noted: “That ass Wright got me into the habit of obvious writing with his never-ending complaints against the indefiniteness of my early stuff’ ( SL3.395–96). HPL is probably correct in this assessment. HPL was so disgusted with Wright’s rejections that he himself submitted only one story (“In the Vault”) to WTin almost five and a half years (Spring 1931– Summer 1936), although in this period others such as August Derleth submitted HPL’s stories without his knowledge or permission.
< previous page page_293 next page > < previous page page_294 next page >
Page 294
HPL might have had more leverage with Wright if he could have developed a second pulp market to
offset
WT Amazing Stories
had taken “The Colour out of Space” in 1927, but it paid him only
of a
cent per word for the story. (WT generally paid HPL 1 to 1½ cents per word, the latter being its highest rate.) He submitted several stories to Strange Tales(1931–33), edited by Harry Bates, but all were rejected as the magazine wanted “action” stories quite unlike HPL’s average product. Carl Swanson’s Galaxy,contemplated in 1932, never got off the ground. HPL’s two late sales to Astounding Storiesmay have contributed to Wright’s quick acceptance of “The Thing on the Doorstep” and “The Haunter of the Dark” in July 1936, although they were just the sort he would have liked in any case.
After HPL’s death Wright accepted many HPL stories and poems that he had formerly rejected, when they were submitted by August Derleth. This policy continued with WT’s third and final editor, Dorothy McIlwraith, who took over in 1940. It was, however, her decision to abridge some of HPL’s longer works (“The Mound” [November 1940]; The Case of Charles Dexter Ward[May and July 1941]; “The Shadow over Innsmouth” [January 1942]), although these had appeared or were about to appear in collections of HPL’s tales published by Arkham House.
For a complete list of HPL’s contributions to WT,see S.T.Joshi, “Lovecraft in Weird Tales” New Lovecraft Collector10 (Spring 1995): 3–4. H.P.Lovecraft in “The Eyrie,”ed. S.T.Joshi and Marc A.Michaud (Necronomicon Press, 1979), contains letters by or about HPL in the letter column of WT. See Robert Weinberg, The Weird Tales Story(West Linn, Ore.: FAX Collector’s Editions, 1977); Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Weird Fiction Magazines,ed. Marshall B.Tymn and Mike Ashley (Greenwood Press, 1985); Frank H.Parnell and Mike Ashley, Monthly Terrors(Greenwood Press, 1985) (contains complete issue-by-issue index to WT).
Weiss, Henry George (1898–1946),
Canadian-born poet and essayist who wrote weird and science fiction tales under the pseudonym Francis Flagg. Weiss corresponded with HPL sporadically during the period 1930–37; at this time he had communist leanings and may have contributed to HPL’s gradual shift toward socialism. He wrote an HPL-influenced story, “The Distortion out of Space” (WT, August 1934); also a poem, “To Howard Phillips Lovecraft” (WT, March 1938; rpt. Marginalia). See also The Night People(1947), a science fiction novel.
West, Herbert.
In “Herbert West—Reanimator,” the medical student who hopes to learn the secret of reanimating the dead. The story follows his exploits through his college days and post-graduate work, to service during World War I and his own medical practice, as he comes closer and closer, but never fully succeeding, in his attempts at reanimation. Ultimately, the specimens he reanimates band together and destroy him.
“What Belongs in Verse.”
Essay (730 words); probably written in early 1935. First published in Perspective Review(Spring 1935); rpt. MW
< previous page page_294 next page > < previous page page_295 next page >
Page 295
This important essay reflects HPL’s later views on poetry, in which he is shown to have modified his earlier rigidly classicist stance; he now maintains that good poetry must be a matter of images and symbols rather than plain statement.
“What the Moon Brings.”
Prose poem (740 words); written on June 5, 1922. First published in the National Amateur(May 1923); first collected in BWS;corrected text in MW
The narrator professes at the outset, “I hate the moon—I am afraid of it” because he once saw the moon shining on an old garden near a shallow stream. Various strange sights greet the narrator’s eye, including dead faces in the river. Then the waters ebb, and the narrator sees an appalling sight: the vast basalt crown of a “shocking eikon” whose forehead was beginning to appear from under the waves, and whose feet must be an incalculable distance below. The narrator flees in terror. The vignette suffers from vagueness and from a certain hysterical tone that makes the entire work seem flamboyant and unmotivated.
Whateley, Wilbur (1913–1928).
In “The Dunwich Horror,” the more human of the twin offspring of Lavinia Whateley and YogSothoth. Old Whateley indoctrinates the precocious but abnormally mature boy in esoteric study. He is slain by a watchdog when trying to steal a copy of the Necronomiconfrom the library of Miskatonic University. Lavinia Whateley (c. 1878–1926) is the deformed albino mother of Wilbur and his alien fraternal twin. Old Whateley is the aged wizard who is Lavinia’s father and Wilbur’s grandfather. The relationship of these three characters is somewhat of a parody of that of HPL, his mother (no albino, but noted for her queer behavior), and his maternal grandfather, Whipple V.Phillips, who was HPL’s surrogate father until he died. When their respective grandfathers died, Wilbur and HPL were both about fourteen years of age. Other members of the Whateley family include: Curtis Whateley, son of Zechariah Whateley, who looks through a telescope and sees Wilbur’s monstrous twin brother; Mrs. Whateley, Old Whateley’s wife, who died under mysterious circumstances when Lavinia was twelve; Squire Sawyer Whateley, chairman of the local draft board who in 1917 had difficulty finding enough young Dunwich men fit to send to a development camp; Zebulon Whateley, “of a branch that hovered about half way between soundness and decadence,” who receives a frantic telephone call from George Corey’s wife about the ravages of Wilbur’s twin brother; and Zechariah Whateley, who brings Old Whateley some cows that the latter had purchased from his son Curtis.
Wheeler, Arthur.
In “The Man of Stone,” a sculptor who is turned to stone by Daniel Morris when Morris suspects him of making designs on his wife.
Wheeler, Henry.
In “The Dunwich Horror,” one of the party that exterminates Wilbur Whateley’s monstrous twin brother.
Whipple, Dr. Elihu.
In “The Shunned House,” a physician, antiquarian, and uncle of the story’s narrator. He shares his research of the history of the Shunned House with his nephew, and the two eventually attempt to determine
< previous page page_295 next page > < previous page page_296 next page >

the source of the house’s notoriety. In so doing, they encounter the monstrous entity that inhabits the house and which overwhelms the elderly doctor.
“Whisperer in Darkness, The.”
Novelette (26,700 words); written February 24–September 26, 1930. First published in WT(August 1931); first collected in O;corrected text in DH;annotated version in CC
The Vermont floods of November 3, 1927, cause great destruction in the rural parts of the state and also engender reports of strange bodies—not recognizably human or animal—floating down the floodchoked rivers. Albert N. Wilmarth, a professor of literature at Miskatonic University with an interest in folklore, dismisses these accounts as standard myth-making; but then he hears from a reclusive but evidently learned individual in Vermont, Henry Wentworth Akeley, who not only confirms the reports but also maintains there is an entire colony of extraterrestrials dwelling in the region, whose purpose is to mine a metal they cannot find on their own planet (which may be the recently discovered ninth planet of the solar system, called Yuggoth in various occult writings) and also, by means of a complicated mechanical device, to remove the brains of human beings from their bodies and to take them on fantastic cosmic voyagings. Wilmarth is skeptical of Akeley’s tale, but the latter sends him photographs of a hideous black stone with inexplicable hieroglyphs on it along with a phonograph recording he made of some sort of ritual in the woods near his home—a ritual in which both humans and (judging from the bizarre buzzing voice) some utterly nonhuman creatures participated. As their correspondence continues, Wilmarth slowly becomes convinced of the truth of Akeley’s claims—and is both wholly convinced and increasingly alarmed as some of their letters go unaccountably astray and Akeley finds himself embroiled in a battle with guns and dogs as the aliens besiege his house. Then, in a startling reversal, Akeley sends him a reassuring letter stating that he has come to terms with the aliens: he had misinterpreted their motives and now believes that they are merely trying to establish a workable rapport with human beings for mutual benefit. He is reconciled to the prospect of his brain being removed and taken to Yuggoth and beyond, for he will thereby acquire cosmic knowledge made available only to a handful of human beings since the beginning of civilization. He urges Wilmarth to visit him to discuss the matter, reminding him to bring all the papers and other materials he had sent so that they can be consulted if necessary. Wilmarth agrees, taking a spectral journey into the heart of the Vermont backwoods and meeting with Akeley, who has suffered some inexplicable malady: he can only speak in a whisper, and he is wrapped from head to foot with a blanket except for his face and hands. He tells Wilmarth wondrous tales of traveling faster than the speed of light and of the strange machines in the room used to transport brains through the cosmos. Numbed with astonishment, Wilmarth retires to bed, but hears a disturbing colloquy in Akeley’s room with several of the buzzing voices and other, human voices. But what makes him flee from the place is a very simple thing he sees as he sneaks down to Akeley’s room late at night: “For the things in the chair, perfect to the last, subtle detail of microscopic resemblance—or identity—were the face and hands of Henry Wentworth Akeley.”

Without the necessity of stating it, HPL makes clear the true state of affairs: the last, reassuring letter by “Akeley” was in fact a forgery by the alien entities, written as a means of getting Wilmarth to come up to Vermont with all the evidence of his relations with Akeley; the speaker in the chair was not Akeley—whose brain had been removed from his body and placed in one of the machines— but one of the aliens, perhaps Nyarlathotep himself, whom they worship. The attempted “rapport” that the aliens claim to desire with human beings is a sham, and they in fact wish to enslave the human race; hence Wilmarth must write his account to warn the world of this lurking menace. There are numerous autobiographical details in the story. HPL knew of the Vermont floods of 1927, as they were extensively reported in newspapers across the East Coast. More generally, the Vermont background of the tale is clearly derived from HPL’s visits to the state in 1927 and 1928; whole passages of the essay “Vermont—A First Impression” (1927) appear in the text but subtly altered so as to emphasize both the terror and the fascination of the rustic landscape. Wilmarth’s ride into Vermont in a Ford car duplicates the ride HPL took to Vrest Orton’s farm in 1928: “We were met [in Brattleboro] with a Ford, owned by a neighbour, & hurried out of all earthly reality amongst the vivid hills & mystic winding roads of a land unchanged for a century” (HPL to Lillian D.Clark, [June 12, 1928]; ms., JHL). Henry Wentworth Akeley is based in part on the rustic Bert G.Akley whom HPL met on this trip. Akeley’s secluded farmhouse seems to be based on both the Orton residence in Brattleboro and Arthur Goodenough’s home farther north. There is a mention of “The Pendrifter” (the columnist for the Brattleboro Reformer) early in the story, and the later mention of “Lee’s Swamp” is a nod to the Lee boys who were Orton’s neighbors.
Steven J.Mariconda has discussed in detail the particularly difficult genesis of the tale. As the manuscript states, it was “provisionally finished” in Charleston, South Carolina, on May 7, 1930, but underwent significant revision thereafter. HPL first took it to New York, where he read it to Frank Belknap Long. In his 1944 memoir, Long speaks of the matter; although parts of his account clearly are erroneous, there is perhaps a kernel of truth in his recollection of one point: “Howard’s voice becoming suddenly sepulchral: ‘And from the box a tortured voice spoke: “Go while there is still time —”’” (“Some Random Memories of H.P.L.,” Marginalia,p. 336). HPL then went to Kingston to visit Bernard Austin Dwyer and read him the story as well. In a letter HPL states: “My ‘Whisperer in Darkness’ has retrogressed to the constructional stage as a result of some extremely sound & penetrating criticism on Dwyer’s part. I shall not try to tinker with it during the residue of this trip, but shall make it the first item of work on my programme after I get home—which will no doubt be in less than a week now. There will be considerable condensation throughout, & a great deal of subtilisation at the end” (HPL to August Derleth, June 7, 1930; ms., SHSW). It appears that at least one point on which Dwyer suggested revision is this warning to Wilmarth (presumably by Akeley’s brain from one of the canisters), which is so obvious that it would dilute the purported “surprise” ending of the story (if indeed the story in this version ended as it did). It also appears that Dwyer recommended that Wilmarth be made to seem less gullible, but HPL did

not much succeed in this area. Although he apparently inserted random details to heighten Wilmarth’s skepticism, especially in regard to the obviously forged final letter by “Akeley,” Wilmarth still seems very naive in proceeding blithely to Vermont despite all the documentary evidence he has received from Akeley.
It cannot be said that the discovery of Pluto inspired the writing of the tale. C.W.Tombaugh had discovered the planet on February 18, 1930, after ten months of searching, but it was first announced on the front page of the New York Timesonly on March 14, to coincide with the 147th anniversary of the discovery of Uranus and the seventy-fifth anniversary of the birth of Percival Lowell, who had himself searched for a trans-Neptunian planet. HPL was tremendously captivated by the discovery: the day after its announcement he writes, “Whatcha thinka the NEW PLANET? HOT STUFF!!! It is probably Yuggoth” (HPL to James F.Morton, [March 15, 1930]; AHT). One point of controversy is the possibility that the false Akeley is not merely one of the fungi but is in fact Nyarlathotep himself. The evidence comes chiefly from the phonograph recording of the ritual in the woods made by Akeley, in which one of the fungi at one point declares, “To Nyarlathotep, Mighty Messenger, must all things be told. And He shall put on the semblance of men, the waxen mask and the robe that hides, and come down from the world of Seven Suns to mock….” This seems a clear allusion to Nyarlathotep disguised with Akeley’s face and hands; but if so, it means that at this time he actually is,in bodily form, one of the fungi—especially if, as seems likely, Nyarlathotep is one of the two buzzing voices Wilmarth overhears at the end (the one who “held an unmistakable note of authority”). There are, however, problems with this identification. Nyarlathotep has been regarded by some critics as a shapeshifter, but only because he appears in various stories in widely different forms—as an Egyptian pharaoh in the prose poem of 1920 and The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath,here as an extraterrestrial entity, as the “Black Man” in “The Dreams in the Witch House” (1932), and so on; his “avatar” appears as a winged entity in “The Haunter of the Dark” (1935). But if Nyarlathotep were a true shapeshifter, why would he don the face and hands of Akeley instead of merely reshaping himself as Akeley?
The story was readily accepted by Farnsworth Wright, who paid HPL $350 for it—the largest amount he ever received for a single work of fiction. Wright planned to run it as a two-part serial, but early in 1931 WTwas forced into bimonthly publication for about half a year, so that the story appeared complete in the August 1931 issue.

White, Ann.
In “The Shunned House,” a woman from North Kingstown, R.I., who is hired by Mercy Dexter to be a servant at the house around 1770. She begins spreading rumors about the sinister abode and is later dismissed.
White, Lee McBride, Jr. (1915–1989),
correspondent of HPL (1932–37). White spent most of his youth in Birmingham, Ala.; he appears to have contacted HPL through WT. His chief interest was not in the weird but in Metaphysical poetry, specifically John Donne. White attended Howard College (now Samford University) in Birmingham, graduating in 1937; he worked on school publications there, sending some of them to HPL. After HPL’s death White did graduate work at Harvard and Columbia, returned to Alabama and became a journalist, served in the air force during World War II, and later worked for the Communications Workers of America. He edited The American Revolution in Notes, Quotes, and Anecdotes(1975) for the U.S. Bicentennial.
“White Ship, The.”
Short story (2,550 words); probably written in October 1919. First published in the United Amateur (November 1919); rpt. WT(March 1927); first collected in BWS;corrected text in D;annotated version in TD.
Basil Elton, “keeper of the North Point light,” one day “walk[s] out over the waters…on a bridge of moonbeams” to a White Ship that has come from the South, captained by an aged bearded man. They sail to various fantastic realms: the Land of Zar, “where dwell all the dreams and thoughts of beauty that come to men once and then are forgotten”; the Land of Thalarion, “the City of a Thousand Wonders, wherein reside all those mysteries that man has striven in vain to fathom”; Xura, “the Land of Pleasures Unattained”; and finally Sona-Nyl, in which “there is neither time nor space, neither suffering nor death.” Although Elton spends “many aeons” there in evident contentment, he gradually finds himself yearning for the realm of Cathuria, the Land of Hope, beyond the basalt pillars of the West, which he believes to be an even more wondrous realm than Sona-Nyl. The captain warns him against pursuing Cathuria, but Elton is adamant and compels the captain to launch his ship once more. But they discover that beyond the basalt pillars of the West is only a “monstrous cataract, wherein the oceans of the world drop down to abysmal nothingness.” As their ship is destroyed, Elton finds himself on the platform of his lighthouse. The White Ship comes to him no more.
The plot of the story clearly derives from Dunsany’s “Idle Days on the Yann” (in A Dreamer’s Tales, 1910), but there the resemblance ends, for Dunsany’s tale tells only of a dream-voyage by a man who boards a ship, the Bird of the River,and encounters one magical land after another; there is no significant philosophical content in these realms, and their principal function is merely an evocation of fantastic beauty. HPL’s tale is meant to be interpreted allegorically or symbolically and as such enunciates several central tenets of his philosophical thought, principally the folly of abandoning the Epicurean goal of ataraxia,tranquillity (interpreted as the absence of pain), embodied in the land of Sona-Nyl. By forsaking it Basil Elton brings upon his head a justified doom—not death, but sadness and discontent.

After the story’s first publication, Alfred Galpin, chairman of the Department of Public Criticism of the UAPA, gave it a warm reception (see “Department of Public Criticism,” United Amateur,March 1920). See also Dirk W.Mosig, “‘The White Ship’: A Psychic Odyssey,” Whispers(November 1974) (rpt. FDOC); Paul Montelone, “‘The White Ship’: A Schopenhauerian Odyssey,” LSNo. 36 (Spring 1997): 2–14.
Whitehead, Henry S[t. Clair] (1882–1932),
American author of weird tales and friend of HPL (1931–32). HPL reports (“In Memoriam: Henry St. Clair Whitehead”) that Whitehead, a New Jersey native, graduated from Harvard in 1904; this is false, although Whitehead did study at Harvard and Columbia. HPL also notes that he later received a Ph.D.; this also appears to be false, although Whitehead earned an M.A. from Ewing College in Illinois. He also became an Anglican priest. From 1921 to 1929 Whitehead served as Acting Archdeacon in the Virgin Islands, thereby absorbing a fund of native lore (especially regarding zombies, jumbees, and other legendary entities) for his weird tales. Whitehead published voluminously in WT, Strange Tales, Adventure,and other pulps; his tales, although on the whole unadventurous in conception, are written with elegance and occasional emotive power. They were posthumously collected in two volumes published by Arkham House: Jumbee and Other Uncanny Tales(1944) and West India Lights(1946).
HPL visited Whitehead in Dunedin, Fla., from May 21 to June 10, 1931. Among HPL’s activities then was an impromptu narration of the plot of “The Cats of Ulthar” to a boys’ club organized by Whitehead. At this time or a few months later, HPL assisted Whitehead on the revision of his story, “The Trap”; as revised, the story is perhaps one-half to three-fourths by HPL, but it was published only under Whitehead’s byline in Strange Tales(March 1932). Later that year HPL apparently allowed Whitehead to use a plot-germ from his commonplace book (entry #133, about a man with a miniature Siamese twin); Whitehead wrote up the idea as “Cassius” ( Strange Tales,November 1931), but HPL later admitted that his development of the idea would have been very different from Whitehead’s (see SL5.33–35). In the spring and summer of 1932 HPL appears to have assisted Whitehead on another story, apparently titled “The Bruise.” This story (about a man who experiences strange visions after receiving a blow to the head) had been rejected by Strange Talesas too tame, and HPL devised an elaborate plot involving the man’s access to hereditary memory, so that he sees in his mind his distant ancestor’s experience of the destruction of the Pacific continent of Mu 20,000 years ago. HPL was unsure whether Whitehead had managed to finish the story prior to his death on November 23, 1932. A story in West India Lightsentitled “Bothon” (published simultaneously in Amazing Stories,August 1946) is the story in question. From internal evidence, there appears to be no prose by HPL in the tale, but it may well have been based upon what seems to be a detailed synopsis by HPL. A. Langley Searles has conjectured that August Derleth in fact wrote the story from HPL’s synopsis and published it under Whitehead’s byline.
In 1932 R.H.Barlow planned a very limited edition of Whitehead’s letters, to be entitled Caneviniana, but never progressed beyond the setting of a few pages in type. HPL’s letters to Whitehead were apparently destroyed (see Bar

low’s introduction to Jumbee). No letters by Whitehead to HPL survive. HPL’s “In Memoriam: Henry St. Clair Whitehead” was a brief obituary that appeared in WT(March 1933). HPL notes that editor Farnsworth Wright used only about a quarter of what HPL had written (see HPL to R.H.Barlow, April 9, 1933; ms., JHL); however, the full version of this essay is probably similar to a lengthy letter by HPL to E.Hoffmann Price, December 7, 1932 (ms., JHL; printed in part in SL4.116–17), written a few weeks after Whitehead’s death.

In The Case of Charles Dexter Ward,the Ward family’s doctor. When Ward realizes his error in revivifying Joseph Curwen, he enlists Bicknell’s help to destroy Curwen, but too late to save his own life. HPL had conceived his novel as a work of detective fiction, and Willett is his detective. Willett solves the mystery of Curwen’s resurrection and destroys him.

Williamson, James.
In “The Shadow over Innsmouth,” the uncle of Robert Olmstead, brother of Douglas (who commited suicide when he learned the family secret), and father of Lawrence (who is confined to a sanitarium). When he shows Olmstead various family artifacts, Olmstead cannot help but conclude that he, like his cousin Lawrence, is of tainted Innsmouth ancestry.

A scientist, Thomas Slauenwite, discovers a rare insect in South Africa whose bite is fatal unless treated with a certain drug; the natives call the insect the “devil-fly” because after killing its victim it purportedly takes over the deceased’s soul or personality. Slauenwite kills a rival scientist, Henry Moore, with this insect, but is later haunted by an insect that seems uncannily to bear tokens of Moore’s personality. Slauenwite is killed (by heart failure induced by fright, not by the bite of an insect), his soul enters the body of the insect, and he writes a message on the ceiling of his room by dipping his insect body in ink and walking across the ceiling. His diary is found in his hotel room by puzzled policemen and medical examiners.
HPL discusses the story in a letter that probably dates to summer 1932: “Something odd befell a client of mine the other day—involving a story-element which Ihad intended & introduced under the impression that it was strictly original with me. The tale was sent to Handsome Harry [Bates], & he rejected it on the ground that the element in question (the act of an insect dipping itself in ink & writing on a white surface with its own body) formed the crux of another tale which he had accepted. Hell’s bells!—& I thought I’d hit on an idea of absolute novelty & uniqueness!” (HPL to August Derleth, [August 1932]; ms., SHSW). The interesting thing about this is that the tale had thus been submitted to Strange Tales,edited by Harry Bates. It is plausible that the earlier Heald tales were written with this better-paying market in view (the magazine folded after the January 1933 issue). After its appearance in WT,HPL wrote: “‘Winged Death’ is nothing to run a temperature over…. My share in it is something like 90 to 95%” ( SL4.403).
“Wisdom.”
Poem (49 lines); probably written in the fall of 1919. First published in the Silver Clarion(November 1919); rpt. National Enquirer(December 4, 1919).
The poem’s subtitle declares: “The 28th or ‘Gold-Miner’s Chapter of Job, paraphrased from a literal translation of the original Hebrew text, supplied by Dr. S.Hall Young.” If this seems an odd poem for the atheist HPL to write, we should remember that the Silver Clarion,an amateur paper edited by John Milton Samples, was, in HPL’s words, “an able and consistent exponent of that literary mildness and wholesomeness which in the professional world are exemplified by The Youth’s Companionand the better grade of religious publications” (HPL, “Comment,” Silver Clarion,June 1918). Wolejko, Anastasia.
In “The Dreams in the Witch House,” a “clod-like laundry worker” in Arkham whose two-year-old child, Ladislas Wolejko, vanishes and is later killed by Brown Jenkin.
Wollheim, Donald A[llen] (1914–1990),
science fiction fan and editor, and correspondent of HPL (1935–37). In 1935 Wollheim took over a magazine previously edited by Wilson Shepherd and renamed it The Phantagraph;he asked HPL to contribute, and HPL sent several poems as well as the essays “Robert Ervin Howard: 1906–1936” (August 1936) and “The Weird Work of William Hope Hodgson” (February 1937). A letter to Duane W.Rimel (September 28,
< previous page page_302 next page > < previous page page_303 next page >
Page 303
1935) appeared anonymously as “What’s the Trouble with Weird Fiction?” (February 1937). Wollheim also coedited, with Shepherd, one issue of Fanciful Tales(Fall 1936), containing HPL’s “The Nameless City,” which was marred by numerous typographical errors. Wollheim continued to publish HPL’s work in The Phantagraphafter his death. Wollheim later became a distinguished science fiction and fantasy editor ( The Portable Novels of Science[1945]; Avon Fantasy Reader[1947–52; 18 volumes]; Terror in the Modern Vein[1955]) and author of numerous science fiction tales for young adults. Wooley, Natalie H[artley],
poet and correspondent of HPL (1933–37). Wooley published poetry widely in amateur journals in the 1930s. She was, with Maurice W.Moe, John Adams, and HPL, a member of a round-robin correspondence circle, the Coryciani, mainly devoted to the criticism of poetry.
World War I.
HPL joined amateur journalism in April 1914, just four months before the outbreak of World War I. He wasted little time in writing of the conflict. In the first issue of the Conservative(April 1915), he wrote the controversial essay “The Crime of the Century,” which asserted that the war was a shameful battle of “blood brothers”—the British and the Germans, the two great branches of the Teutonic race—and that it might lead to “the self-decimation of the one mighty branch of humanity on which the future welfare of the world depends.” HPL vigorously condemned American neutrality during the first three years of the war, claiming that the nation ought to align itself to its natural ally, England (see “Old England and the ‘Hyphen,’” Conservative,October 1916). HPL also took note of a side issue of the war—the Irish rebellion of 1916. He discusses it in the letters to the Irish-American John T.Dunn and also in the satirical poem “Ye Ballade of Patrick von Flynn” ( Conservative,April 1916).
But HPL felt more inclined to express his views of the war in verse. He wrote numerous poems on various aspects of the war, including a condemnation of the sinking of the Lusitania(“The Crime of Crimes,” Interesting Items,July 1915); tributes to England (“An American to Mother England,” Poesy, July 1916; “The Rose of England,” Scot,October 1916; “Britannia Victura,” Inspiration,April 1917; “An American to the British Flag,” Little Budget of Knowledge and Nonsense,November 1917; “Ad Britannos—1918,” Tryout,April 1918); paeans to the uniting of America and England to battle the Germans in 1917 (“Iterum Conjunctae,” Tryout,May 1917; “The Link,” Tryout,July 1918); attacks on Germany (“1914,” Interesting Items,March 1915; “Germania—1918,” Tryout,November 1918); a patriotic ode (“Ode for July Fourth, 1917,” United Amateur,July 1917); attacks on pacifism (“The Beauties of Peace,” [Providence] Evening News,June 27, 1916; “Pacifist War Song—1917,” Tryout, March 1917; “The Peace Advocate,” Tryout,May 1917); a tribute to the American poet Alan Seeger, who died in battle (“To Alan Seeger,” Tryout,July 1918); and poems on volunteers and conscripts, respectively (“The Volunteer,” [Providence] Evening News,February 1, 1918; “The Conscript” [unpublished in HPL’s lifetime]). But HPL’s finest war poem is the moving ode “On a Battlefield in Picardy,” National Enquirer,May 30, 1918 (rpt. Voice from the Mountains,July 1918, as “On a Battlefield in France”).

HPL’s most dramatic action during the war was to enlist in the R.I. National Guard in early May 1917, a short time before President Wilson’s signing of the draft bill on May 18, 1917 (see SL1.45–49). Although he passed his initial physical examination, he was prevented from joining the National Guard by his mother, who had HPL’s physician declare him physically unfit to serve. (HPL would not have gone overseas had he remained a member of the National Guard; probably he would have been stationed at Fort Standish in Boston.) In December HPL registered for the draft, as he was legally obliged to do; he was declared “totally and permanently unfit” (see SL1.52).
After the war HPL participated in the “Red Scare” in the brief but intemperate article “Bolshevism” ( Conservative,July 1919); he also expressed cynical doubts as to the efficacy of the League of Nations in “The League” ( Conservative,July 1919). But the end of the war, and the nation’s subsequent lack of foreign threats, allowed HPL to develop his political theories at greater leisure (see “Nietzscheism and Realism,” Rainbow,October 1921). HPL’s writings on the war cannot be said to be notably acute, but they at least refute the notion that he was an “eccentric recluse” who had no interest in the political, social, and cultural events of his time.
World War I enters fleetingly but provocatively into HPL’s fiction. “Dagon” (1917) was written a few months after American entry into the war and is set in the war-torn Pacific. “The Temple” (1920) purports to be the account of a German commander of a U-boat. The fifth segment of “Herbert West —Reanimator” (1921–22) is set in Flanders, as West and the narrator are, in 1915, among “the many Americans to precede the [U.S.] government itself into the gigantic struggle.” Thurber, the narrator of “Pickman’s Model” (1926), adduces his war experience as testimony to his physical and mental toughness; an electrical repairman in “Cool Air” (1926) is terrified at the sight of Dr. Muñoz, even though he “had been through the terrors of the Great War without having incurred any fright so thorough.” In “The Silver Key” (1926) Randolph Carter is said to have “served from the first in the Foreign Legion of France.” Because he has doubled back upon his own time-line, Carter, in 1897, pales at the mention of the French town of Belloyen-Santerre, where he was almost mortally wounded in 1916. (The town is where the poet Alan Seeger was killed.) Most intriguingly, Peaslee in “The Shadow out of Time” (1934–35), after being a captive mind of the Great Race and learning the secrets of the universe both past and future, finds that “The war gave me strange impressions of rememberingsome of its far-off consequences—as if I knew how it was coming out and could look backupon it in the light of future information.”
Wright, Farnsworth (1888–1940),
editor of WT. Wright took editorship of the magazine in early 1924, replacing Edwin Baird. He had served in World War I and was music critic for the Chicago Herald and Examiner,continuing in this capacity for a time even while editing WT. By early 1921 he had contracted Parkinson’s disease, and by around 1930 he was incapable of signing his letters; ultimately it would prove fatal. Wright was compelled to balance the interests of the magazine’s readers (most of whom were relatively unsophisticated and illeducated) with the search for quality; HPL tended to feel that he was unduly influenced by the readers who wrote to the magazine’s letter column, “The Ey

Page 305
rie.” Wright published a vast amount of rubbish in WTbut managed to keep WTafloat through the Depression, when many other pulp magazines (notably the rival Strange Tales[1931–33]) failed. Wright did not get off on the right foot with HPL by rejecting “The Shunned House” when it was submitted to him in 1925; it was HPL’s first rejection by the magazine, as Edwin Baird previously had accepted everything HPL had submitted. Thereafter Wright tended to accept HPL’s more conventional tales and to reject his more aesthetically challenging ones. He was also greatly concerned about censorship: the May–June–July 1924 issue had almost been banned in Indiana because of the gruesomeness of the HPL–Eddy story “The Loved Dead,” and Wright (according to HPL) was in terror of a repeat of such an incident; accordingly, he rejected HPL’s “In the Vault” and “Cool Air” on the grounds that they were too grisly. Wright also rejected several of HPL’s Dunsanian fantasies. Wright appeared to wish HPL to be more explicit in the matter of the causes of his supernatural phenomena; HPL felt that this repeated plea had a deleterious effect on his later work by making it too obvious and explanatory.
In late 1926 Wright proposed a collection of HPL’s stories, to be part of a series of books issued by WT. In a long letter to Wright (December 22, 1927; AHT), HPL outlined a proposed table of contents for the book (which he wished to call The Outsider and Other Storiesbecause “I consider the touch of cosmic outsideness—of dim, shadowy non-terrestrialhints—to be the characteristic feature of my writing”): the “ indispensablenucleus” would be “The Outsider,” “Arthur Jermyn,” “The Rats in the Walls,” “The Picture in the House,” “Pickman’s Model,” “The Music of Erich Zann,” “Dagon,” “The Statement of Randolph Carter,” and “The Cats of Ulthar”; to be augmented by one of the following —“The Call of Cthulhu,” “The Horror at Red Hook,” or “The Colour out of Space.” But the Popular Fiction Publishing Company’s first book, The Moon Terrorby A.G.Birch and others, sold so poorly that plans to issue further volumes were dropped.
In 1931 Wright gravely offended HPL by rejecting At the Mountains of Madness,which HPL considered his most ambitious work. Although HPL felt the short novel was suited for serialization by simply dividing after Chapter 6, Wright felt that it was “‘too long,’ ‘not easily divisible into parts,’ ‘not convincing’—& so on” (SL 3.395). For the next five and a half years HPL submitted only one story to WT,even though Wright repeated asked him to do so and reprinted several earlier tales. (August Derleth submitted “The Shadow over Innsmouth” in 1933 and “The Dreams in the Witch House” in 1934 without HPL’s knowledge or permission; the former was rejected, the latter accepted.) In 1932 Wright further angered HPL by urging him not to deal with Carl Swanson, who was attempting to form a magazine, Galaxy,that Wright regarded as a potential rival to WT. HPL grudgingly submitted “The Thing on the Doorstep” and “The Haunter of the Dark” to Wright in the autumn of 1936; they were promptly accepted. After HPL’s death Wright published many of HPL’s stories that he had previously rejected. He edited WTuntil his death, when Dorothy McIlwraith took the helm. See E.Hoffmann Price, “Farnsworth Wright,” Ghost(July 1944); rpt. AnubisNo. 3 (1968); rpt. Etchings and OdysseysNo. 3 (1983); in Price’s The Book of the Dead(Arkham House, 2001).

“Year Off, A.”
Poem (44 lines in quatrains); written on July 24, 1925. First published in BWS HPL imagines voyaging to various exotic lands, but then decides that his imaginative journey was sufficient and that he need not actually travel anywhere. The poem was written for a Blue Pencil Club meeting in which amateurs were asked to prepare literary contributions on a stated theme.

Zamacona y Nuñez, Panfilo de.
In “The Mound,” a member of Coronado’s expedition who leaves the party and goes on to explore the mound region of Oklahoma, hoping to find Xinaián, a legendary underground realm of great wealth. An Indian guide leads him there, but he is soon enslaved by the inhabitants; his later attempt to escape from them is unsuccessful. His narrative of his adventures, discovered by the narrator, constitutes the body of the story.
Zann, Erich.
In “The Music of Erich Zann,” the mute, possessed composer and cellist who is the subject of the story. His garret room does not overlook the streets of Paris, but “the blackness of space illimitable,” the apparent inspiration for his weird music.
Zimmer,———.
In “The Temple,” a seaman on the German submarine U-29 who apparently commits suicide to escape the horrors he thinks are besetting his vessel.
