H.P. Lovecraft’s short story Beyond the Wall of Sleep was first published in 1919 and reprinted in Weird Tales in 1938. The tale is about an intern in a mental hospital recounting his experiences with Joe Slater, an inmate who died at the facility after being incarcerated as a criminally insane murderer. During his confinement, Slater had a series of violent seizures in which his rants and ravings revealed strange other-worldly visions.

Lovecraftian themes abound in the tales of an intern at a madhouse and an illiterate madman. Slater, the madman whose unspeakable crimes led him to the madhouse, is continuously awakened in this story by surprisingly literate hallucinations of a glowing entity seeking revenge. Inspired by Slater’s uneducated background and the telepathic machine that he had made in his yesteryear, the intern delves deep into Joe Slater - who is receiving telepathic messages from a being of light.
