"The Horror in Red Hook" was published in the anthology "You'll Need a Night Light" by the British publisher Selwyn & Blount, edited by Christine Campbell Thomson, in 1927. This is the first book in a hardcover format to feature any of Lovecraft's works. The following year, the text was reprinted in another collection titled "Not at Night!" by Herbert Asbury (Macy-Masius, 1928).

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.
Robert E. Howard (1906–1936) was an American author who wrote pulp fiction in a diverse range of genres. He is well known for his character Conan the Barbarian and is regarded as the father of the sword and sorcery subgenre. Born and raised in the state of Texas, Howard spent most of his life in the town of Cross Plains.
