"The Festival" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft written in October 1923 and published in the January 1925 issue of Weird Tales.The story is set at Christmas time: "It was the Yuletide, that men call Christmas though they know in their hearts it is older than Bethlehem and Babylon, older than Memphis and mankind." An unnamed narrator is making his first visit to Kingsport, Massachusetts, an "ancient sea town where my people had dwelt and kept festival in the elder time when festival was forbidden; where also they had commanded their sons to keep festival once every century, that the memory of primal secrets might not be forgotten."

The story describes of a strange hybrid race, half-human and half an unknown creature that resembles a cross between a fish and frog, that dwells in the seaside village of Innsmouth (formerly a large town, but lately fallen into disrepair). The townspeople worship Cthulhu and Dagon, a Philistine deity incorporated into the Cthulhu Mythos.

A man touring a Mammoth Cave separates from his guide and becomes lost. His torch expires and he is giving up hope of finding a way out in the pitch dark, when he hears strange non-human footsteps approaching him. Thinking it to be a lost mountain lion or other such beast, he picks up a stone and throws it toward the source of the sound. The beast is hit and crumples to the floor. The guide finds the protagonist, and together they examine the fallen creature with the guides torchlight. The creature mutters in its last breaths and they see its face, discovering that it is in fact a pale, deformed human, who had also become lost in the cave many years ago.

But still not certain which is truer, he sets out to determine whether the waking ideas of man are superior to his dreams.

In "The Lurking Fear," H. P. Lovecraft weaves a chilling narrative that exemplifies his signature blend of cosmic horror and psychological dread. The story revolves around a protagonist who confronts an ancient terror lurking in the hills of an eerie, desolate landscape. LovecraftAos distinctive style shines through with vivid, atmospheric descriptions and a complex interplay of fear and the unknown, inviting readers into a world where reason unravels and nightmarish truths sustain the horror. This work, written in the early 20th century, showcases LovecraftAos fascination with existential dread and the insignificance of humanity in the face of incomprehensible forces, situating it firmly within the framework of early American weird fiction. H. P. Lovecraft, born in 1890, faced numerous challenges that shaped his literary voice, including personal trauma and a deep-seated interest in the arcane and the cosmic. These experiences, combined with his voracious reading and exploration of philosophy, fueled his writing career. His correspondence with contemporaries and his engagement with the literary scene of his time further honed his craft, enabling him to pioneer a horror genre that continues to influence modern literature. "The Lurking Fear" is an essential read for enthusiasts of horror and speculative fiction. It not only delves into the depths of human fear but also invites readers to confront the shadows that reside within themselves and the universe. Lovecrafts ability to evoke a palpable sense of dread remains unparalleled, making this work a vital addition to any literary collection.

Es el año 1918 y Howard Phillips se considera poeta: está bien, quizá no un gran poeta, tal vez anticuado, encorsetado en formas y métodos dieciochescos, pero es que así pone tierra de por medio respecto a su propia epoca y literatura, el Modernismo de un tal Eliot. En Psychopompos, Lovecraft echa mano por unica vez en su carrera de una iconografia convencional del terror. Eso es Lovecraft, un poeta, y no precisamente un falsete de Dryden o de Pope, sino algo mejor, algo incluso mas prometedor que el decepcionanate hombre lobo liquidado de un hachazo... texto extraido del prologo de JUAN ANDRES GARCIA ROMAN, quien tambien se ha encargado de la traduccion. Este libro contiene el manuscrito original aportado por la Howard P. Lovecraft Collection de Brown University Library.
