About this episode
THE TOMB was first published in the The Vagrant no. 14 (March 1922). It is one of Lovecraft’s earliest stories and showcases his fascination with ancestral memory, Gothic atmosphere, and psychological horror.
The story is narrated by Jervas Dudley, a reclusive and imaginative young man with an obsession for a nearby, long-abandoned mausoleum belonging to the Hyde family. Drawn to the tomb by a strange sense of familiarity, Jervas becomes convinced he is connected to the Hydes by blood or spirit.
