  "The Mound" is a horror novella by H. P. Lovecraft, written as a ghostwriting project for Zealia Bishop. It is often considered part of the Cthulhu Mythos due to its themes of ancient, hidden civilizations, cosmic horror, and connections to Lovecraft’s broader mythos.   
  The story follows an unnamed narrator investigating a mysterious burial mound in Oklahoma, where local legends speak of ghostly apparitions and strange disappearances. He discovers a manuscript written by a Spanish explorer, Pánfilo de Zamacona, who in the 16th century found an underground civilization beneath the mound. This lost realm, K’n-yan, is an advanced but decadent society of immortal beings who wield incredible scientific and psychic powers. 
  "The Mound" expands the Cthulhu Mythos by introducing K’n-yan as one of Lovecraft’s lost civilizations, echoing the fates of places like R’lyeh or the Plateau of Leng, where remnants of ancient alien presences continue to exert their influence on the world.

  "The Shunned House" is a horror fiction novelette by American author H. P. Lovecraft, written on October 16–19, 1924. It was first published in the October 1937 issue of Weird Tales.
  For many years, the narrator and his uncle, Dr. Elihu Whipple, have nurtured a fascination with an old abandoned house on Benefit Street. Dr. Whipple has made extensive use of records tracking the mysterious, yet apparently coincidental, sickness and death of many who have lived in the house for over one hundred years. They are also puzzled by the strange weeds growing in the yard, as well as an unexplained foul smell and whitish phosphorescent fungi growing in the cellar. There, the narrator discovers a strange, yellowish vapour in the basement, which seems to be coupled with a moldy outline of a huddled human form on the floor. The narrator and his uncle decide to spend the night in the house, investigating the possibility of some supernatural force. They set up both cots and chairs in the cellar, arm themselves with military flamethrowers, and outfit a modified Crookes tube in the hopes of destroying any supernatural presence they might find.

  He is an ancient, terrifying entity known as one of the October People. Steeped in Native American folklore, these spectral beings return to the Gulf Coast each October, for a brief, deadly three-day stint. Their singular aim? To steal from the living, to kill the living. White stones, black crow feathers . . . innocuous at first glance, but they mark you for death. 
   
   
   
  As the month of October draws near, the Gulf Coast Paranormal team must delve into the dangerous world of the October People and solve the mystery of Oliver's true identity. With the memory of Jocelyn's tragic death a constant reminder of the danger they face, they must prevent the entity from claiming more lives. 
   
   
   
  As the team prepares to face Oliver once more, they must unravel the mysteries of the ancient legends and avoid falling into the same deadly trap. Will they survive this return to Leaf Academy or will they, too, become victims of the October People?
