Lovecraft is a short story written during the early 20th century. It delves into the realms of cosmic horror, focusing on themes of ancient evil and the grotesque underworld of urban squalor. Set primarily in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, the narrative explores the dark secrets and bizarre occurrences that reside in the intersection of the mundane and the macabre. The story follows Thomas F. Malone, a detective whose psychological distress after a traumatic incident leads him to the decrepit, crime-ridden locale of Red Hook. He encounters Robert Suydam, a reclusive scholar with ties to unspeakable cults and sinister rituals associated with an influx of mysterious Kurdish immigrants. As Malone investigates, he discovers a series of horrific events including disappearances and dark ceremonies, culminating in a terrifying confrontation with a naked phosphorescent entity and the animated corpse of Suydam himself. The narrative culminates in a cosmic revelation about the persistence of evil and the hidden horrors that fester within urban decay, leaving Malone deeply shaken by his experiences in a place where human depravity and ancient sorcery intertwine.
