    This is a typical horror story featuring classic elements like ghosts, a secluded house in a desolate area, and werewolves. Initially rejected by "Weird Tales," the story was eventually accepted after revisions. Lovecraft emulated Eddy's writing style in parts, making it challenging to distinguish their contributions.
