In der literarischen Welt H. P. Lovecrafts existiert ein Schattenreich. In den 1920er- und 30er-Jahren verfasste Lovecraft als Ghostwriter oder kreativer Überarbeiter für andere Autorinnen und Autoren eine Vielzahl von Geschichten. Diese Kollaborationen entsprangen oft Freundschaften und Briefwechseln, oder es handelte sich um gezielte Auftragsarbeiten. Dennoch tragen sie alle unverkennbar seine Handschrift: die kosmische Perspektive, die Ahnung uralter, im Schatten lauernder Mächte und eine Sprache, die zwischen detaillierter Szenenbeschreibung und grauenhaften Albträumen pendelt.
