Un hombre trata de encontrar sin éxito a lo largo de los años la Rue d'Auseil, una estrafalaria y peculiar calle en la que vivió durante un tiempo cuando era un joven estudiante de metafísica. Allí conoció a un anciano músico alemán mudo llamado Erich Zann, que por las noches interpretaba desde su buhardilla en el piso superior a la habitación del joven, unas melodías tan extrañas y sobrecogedoras, que el estudiante no pegaba ojo en toda la noche dejándose llevar por esta música, que jamás había escuchado antes.

16 de julio de 1923, precisamente después que el último obrero había terminado su tarea, me mudé a Exham Priory. La restauración había implicado desmedidos trabajos, ya que de la construcción original apenas si quedaba un montón de ruinas, pero como se trataba de la mansión de mis antepasados no reparé en gastos. La finca había permanecido deshabitada desde épocas de Jacobo I, cuando un drama de aspectos espantosamente trágicos, si bien en buena medida comprensibles, se precipitó sobre el jefe de familia, sus cinco hijos y algunos criados.

This volume collects, for the first time, the entire Dream Cycle created by H. P. Lovecraft, the master of twentieth-century horror, including some of his most fantastic tales.

Randolph Carter begins the story telling the harrowing tale to those who found him stumbling through the swamp. Carter and his friend, the occultist Harley Warren, went to investigate the location of a supposed portal to the underworld - near Big Cypress Swamp in Florida.

Only after waiting for what seems an eternity does Carter call down into the tomb, only to be returned with a voice that does not belong to Warren telling him that his friend was dead.

When the narrator accompanies a withered old Yankee back to his house, he is intrigued by the many old curiosities he finds around it - including precolonial furniture. One of these curiosities, an engraving, brings the old man on a terrifying reminisce about eating things that he was not allowed to have, and the narrator realizes that he could next on the plate. As blood drips from the ceiling onto the book, the narrator narrowly escapes when a bolt of lightning strikes the house, finally ending his streak of immortality.

The tomb is the story of Jervas, a little boy whose whole life begins to revolve around the tomb of the Hyde family. A childhood spent sneaking out to sleep beside the tomb eventually turns into a young adulthood of sleeping in a tomb with his name on it. After a stormy night and after heading for the tomb, he turns back and sees the Hyde mansion, which had been burnt down in previous years, aglow with splendor. Once Jervas went inside, the spectral mansion sets ablaze, and his vision is broken by his father. Jervas comes to find out he had never been inside the tomb at all.

He erects a great monument to Kalos over his tomb, but an oak tree decides to overtake it, shaping into what looks like a deformed and monstrous human figure.
