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.

Lo scienziato e filosofo Crawford Tillinghast ha inventato una macchina che, potenziando fino all'estremo le capacità percettive della ghiandola pineale, lo catapulta in una dimensione parallela popolata da entità indefinibili e spaventose. Ma l'esperimento sfugge al suo controllo e... Considerato uno dei padri della fantascienza americana e, in particolare, del genere New Weird, Lovecraft riesce a far sprofondare l'ascoltatore in un mondo fatto di visioni inquietanti. Scritto nel 1920, questo racconto ha ispirato nel 1986 un film di successo: "From Beyond - Terrore dall'ignoto".

Much like Celephaïs, the unnamed narrator recalls his dreams of drifting on a dreamy ship toward the west and exploring the mystical and ethereal land of the west. The narrator recalls that he always ended at an ivy wall with a gate in it. After years of unrelenting depression in the real world, the narrator decides that he will try and go through the gate of his dreams, wherein he swallows “the drug”. After opening the door, he realizes quickly (and to his delight) that his expectations of what lay beyond were completely wrong.

Celaphais tells the story of a man who is the sole survivor of his family and just a nameless face among the other inhabitants of London. Depressed and fed up with life, he begins to favor the alternate reality he discovers while dreaming and even creates a new identity for himself, Kuranes. While "living" as Kuranes, he discovers his dream utopia of Celaphais in the Valley of Ooth-Nargai. Much to his disappointment, Kuranes is continually pulled away from Celaphais and begins to try harder and harder to find it again and live there forever.
