In Arkham, a promising marriage curdles into a body-stealing nightmare. H. P. Lovecraft’s “The Thing on the Door-Step” fuses occult ritual, identity horror, and cosmic dread into a relentless descent toward doom. When shy prodigy Edward Derby weds the enigmatic Asenath Waite, whispers of Innsmouth blood and forbidden rites swell into a chilling struggle for the self—where the mind may be only a husk to be worn. Perfect for readers of weird fiction and dark fantasy, this tale probes possession, madness, and the price of power, culminating in a finale that lingers like a curse.
