    "The Evil Clergyman" is an excerpt from a letter written by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft in 1933. After his death, it was published in the April 1939 issue of Weird Tales as a short story. The story was later adapted into the unreleased 1987 anthology film Pulse Pounders. The letter, to his friend Bernard Austin Dwyer, recounted a dream that Lovecraft had had. Although Lovecraft frequently based stories on his dreams, An H. P. Lovecraft Encyclopedia notes that " is difficult to say how HPL would have developed this conventional supernatural scenario.

With calculated charm and deceit, she manipulates each family member to achieve her ambitions, exposing their secrets and vulnerabilities. Alcott crafts a gripping tale of social climbing, betrayal, and revenge, challenging societal expectations of femininity and morality. Beneath its suspenseful surface lies a sharp critique of class dynamics and gender roles. Darker and more subversive than her traditional works, this novella reveals Alcott’s mastery of psychological drama and biting social commentary.
