About the Book

Love can be a terrifying binding spell. Some marriages are never meant to end. The narrator, Daniel Upton, recounts the chilling demise of his close friend, Edward Pickman Derby, a sensitive and brilliant poet who became obsessed with the occult. Derby's life takes a disastrous turn when he marries Asenath Waite, a woman from the infamous, isolated town of Innsmouth, known for its sinister legends of dark sorcery. Asenath's father, Ephraim Waite, was a powerful occultist, and Asenath inherits not only his magical knowledge but also his chillingly dominant personality. Derby slowly but visibly begins to change: his voice alters, his mannerisms become strange, and he begins to exhibit bursts of alien, malevolent energy that are clearly not his own. Upton suspects that Asenath is using dark magic to possess and control her husband, slowly erasing his identity. The terrifying climax occurs when Upton receives a frantic, midnight message: Derby is dead. But soon after, a bizarre, shuffling figure appears on Upton's doorstep, bearing a message scrawled in Derby's unmistakable handwriting. Upton quickly realizes that the "thing" at his door is not Derby, nor is it Asenath, but an impossible, decaying nightmare--a consciousness trapped and transferred across two different bodies. The Thing on the Doorstep is one of H. P. Lovecraft's most intensely personal and terrifying tales of body horror and mind transference. It is a gripping psychological thriller that explores the horror of a stolen identity and the ultimate, desperate act of vengeance performed by a soul trapped in a rotting shell. The most terrifying things often wear the faces of those you love.

About the Author :
Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American writer born in Providence, Rhode Island. Best known for his work in the science, fantasy and horror fiction genres, Lovecraft's writings are now studied worldwide. One of his most famous creations is the Cthulhu Mythos.
