We revisit one of our favorite authors, H.P. Lovecraft. In this story, Lovecraft delves into themes of psychological horror and the fragility of sanity. Influenced by the film Berkeley Square, Lovecraft believed that writing this novella helped him solve the conceptual problems of time travel portrayed in Berkeley Square.
