  "The Outsider" is a short story by American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written between March and August 1921, it was first published in Weird Tales, April 1926. In this work, a mysterious individual who has been living alone in a castle for as long as he can remember decides to break free in search of human contact and light. "The Outsider" is one of Lovecraft's most commonly reprinted works and is also one of the most popular stories ever to be published in Weird Tales."The Outsider" combines horror, fantasy, and gothic fiction to create a nightmarish story, containing themes of loneliness, the abhuman, and the afterlife. Its epigram is from John Keats' 1819 poem "The Eve of St. Agnes".In a letter, Lovecraft himself said that, of all his tales, this story most closely resembles the style of his idol Edgar Allan Poe, writing that it "represents my literal though unconscious imitation of Poe at its very height." The opening paragraphs echo those of Poe's "Berenice", while the horror at the party recalls the unmasking scene in "The Masque of the Red Death".

  You can visit the town, but you won't be leaving. 
  Dean is a bestselling writer who struggles with writer's block ever since the scandal. Between the accident and the public scandal, no publisher wants to work with him anymore - until his agent calls him one day to tell him he managed to sign a deal with a small publisher. Dean isn't thrilled, but his lack of excitement turns into frustration when he learns that his deadline to come up with an idea for a book is thirty days. 
  It is during his research of creepy internet legends that he stumbles upon the mysterious story of Suicide Town. This isolated little place is notorious for its high number of suicides, but that isn't the only thing it's famous for. The legend claims that any visitor who comes to Suicide Town ends up killing themselves soon after. 
  Inspired to write a book about Suicide Town, Dean decides to visit the town. At first glance, everything is normal except one minor thing - the townsfolk have strange rules they want Dean strictly to follow to the letter. The longer Dean spends in Suicide Town, the more he learns that the townsfolk are hiding something important from him; something dark that only they know. 
  By the time he learns why the rules are so important, it's far too late to leave without consequences. Writing the book falls into oblivion as Dean's main concern becomes how to survive his stay in Suicide Town. 
  Disclaimer: This book deals with themes of suicide.
