The Thing in the Moonlight
The Thing in the Moonlight
by H. P. Lovecraft and J. Chapman Miske
Written November 24, 1927
The following is based, in places word for word, on a letter Lovecraft wrote to Donald
Wandrei on November 24, 1927. The first three and last five paragraphs were added by
J. Chapman Miske; the remainder is almost verbatim Lovecraft.
In the letter, Lovecraft reveals that his "dreams occasionally approach'd the phantastical
in character, tho' falling somewhat short of coherence." Many of his stories were inspired
by dreams.
Morgan is not a literary man; in fact he cannot speak English with any degree of
coherency. That is what makes me wonder about the words he wrote, though others have
laughed.
He was alone the evening it happened. Suddenly an unconquerable urge to write came
over him, and taking pen in hand he wrote the following:
My name is Howard Phillips. I live at 66 College Street, in Providence,
Rhode Island. On November 24, 1927--for I know not even what the year
may be now--, I fell asleep and dreamed, since when I have been unable to
awaken.
My dream began in a dank, reed-choked marsh that lay under a gray
autumn sky, with a rugged cliff of lichen-crusted stone rising to the north.
Impelled by some obscure quest, I ascended a rift or cleft in this beetling
precipice, noting as I did so the black mouths of many fearsome burrows
extending from both walls into the depths of the stony plateau.
At several points the passage was roofed over by the choking of the upper
parts of the narrow fissure; these places being exceeding dark, and
forbidding the perception of such burrows as may have existed there. In
one such dark space I felt conscious of a singular accession of fright, as if
some subtle and bodiless emanation from the abyss were engulfing my
spirit; but the blackness was too great for me to perceive the source of my
alarm.
At length I emerged upon a tableland of moss-grown rock and scanty soil,
lit by a faint moonlight which had replaced the expiring orb of day.
Casting my eyes about, I beheld no living object; but was sensible of a
very peculiar stirring far below me, amongst the whispering rushes of the
pestilential swamp I had lately quitted.
