Den gamle mand bor alene i et jordslået og faldefærdigt hus på Ship Street i Kingsport. Alle i byen, dyr og mennesker, undgår ham, om end han er så gammel, at han næppe kan udgøre nogen trussel. Man der er noget skræmmende ved ham. Flaskerne, han fører lange samtaler med og de uhyggelige malede sten foran hans hus. Der går også rygter om, at han er i besiddelse af en stor guldskat, og dette rygte er ulykkeligvis kommet tre skumle personer for øre... "Den frygtelige gamle mand" (original eng titel "The Terrible Old Man") blev skrevet 28. januar 1920 og udgivet første gang i The Tryout for juli 1921.

H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American author who achieved posthumous fame through his influential works of horror fiction. Virtually unknown and only published in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, he is now regarded as one of the most significant twentieth-century authors in his genre. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, where he lived most of his life. His relatively small corpus of work consists of three short novels and about sixty short stories.
