Summary

"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 story begins in the attic of an ancient house. The narrator's companion refers to the former owner of the house and the presumably violent end that befell him. He advises the narrator not to stay after dark or touch anything, especially the small object on a table, which the companion seems to fear considerably.

    *A Secret Society of Humans Invading the Nether are in for a Fright!* 
In what might be Zombie Steve’s most exciting adventure yet, he has found himself deep inside the Nether. The Portal Master, the only one who knows how to send Steve back home, calls upon him for help. *It seems that a secret society of humans, that call themselves the Illumernotti are invading their home.* 
The Nether residents are concerned – they don’t want to harm the humans but need to be taught how to scare humans away, and* Zombie Steve is more than up for the task at hand*. It’s time for Scare School, as Steve teaches ghasts, blazes, zombie pigmen and whither skeletons how to terrify the pants off of the invading humans without doing harm. 
The Illumernotti are closing in, however, and they seem to be gathering intel. It’s just a matter of time before they really strike. Will Steve and his new army of mobs be able to ward them off? Only time will tell when you read Scare School. 
Scare school is a fantastic tale of solving problems without violence – a powerful lesson and an engaging read for any child, whether they love to read or not!
