Publisher Description
The last of Lovecraft's youthful tales saved by its creator.
For the first time, a cursed lineage appears – a motif quite frequent in Lovecraft, borrowed from Poe. It is also the writer's first approach to Gothic poetics in prose.
"The Alchemist" was a "validation" of Lovecraft's literary skills in the United Amateur Press Association, i.e., a literary text based on which the author's writing predispositions were assessed and a decision was made about whether to accept him into the said association or reject his candidacy.
It is also worth emphasizing that this is the first fictional work by Lovecraft to be published in print.

About H. P. Lovecraft
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.
