  "The Festival" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft written in October 1923 and published in the January 1925 issue of Weird Tales. The story was inspired by Lovecraft's first trip to Marblehead, Massachusetts, in December 1922. Lovecraft later called that visit "the most powerful single emotional climax experienced during my nearly forty years of existence." In a flash all the past of New England—all the past of Old England—all the past of Anglo-Saxondom and the Western World--swept over me and identified me with the stupendous totality of all things in such a way as it never did before and never did again. That was the high tide of my life. The narrator's path through Kingsport corresponds to a route to the center of Marblehead; the house with the overhanging second story is probably based on Marblehead's 1 Mugford Street. The church in the story is St. Michael's Episcopal Church on Frog Lane. Built in 1714, it is the oldest Anglican church in New England that is still standing at its original site. The church is on a modest hill; for most of the 18th century, it had a steeple. Its crypt, where parishioners were interred, remains. Since Lovecraft visited the church (as evidenced by his signature in the guest register), he may have spoken with the rector and learned such details about the church.

  Sergeant Major Whitmore thought the nightmare was over. Three years following the incident on the island of South Fire, he enjoys the peaceful life of a retired man. But the past has a way of catching up to a man. When a mysterious and powerful figure reveals himself, Whitmore finds himself staring death in the eye once again. Caught in a web of lies and deceit, he is brought to an old naval research station in the eastern Pacific. There, he is forced to face his greatest adversary for the second time.Its razor-sharp claws can sever limbs with minimal effort. Its mandibles can separate flesh from bone like tissue paper. The lance-shaped stinger on the end of its tail can penetrate two inches of steel. For its victims, death is a mercy. To those who created it, it is considered a scientific miracle. To everyone else, it is an unspeakable horror. To Whitmore, it is a Specimen of pure evil.Replicated from the DNA of the creature on South Fire, it lives again. Sharing the intelligence and ruthlessness as its genetic forebear, it has outwitted the technology of Modern Man. Now it seeks to multiply its numbers by infecting any organism it comes across—terrestrial and marine. Only Whitmore and an unlikely band of allies stand in its way.
