Next up is the Shadow out of Time.
It was written in late 34 and early 35, and published in Astounding Stories in June 1936.
While it was published a year after the story I want to read after this, it really seems like it was written first, and one clearly follows the other.

In my anthology, this is a 54 page short story, so we’ll give you a bit longer to read it. This is a real love it or hate it sort of story. It’s my least favorite Lovecraft Mythos story, and yet, for many it’s their favorite Lovecraft tale. People such as Lin Carter called it Lovecraft at his finest. I think it’s Lovecraft at his most bizarre, and that’s not necessarily the same thing. It’s vitally important to the Mythos, so we are reading it here before we move to stories based off it, like we read stories such as Dunwich Horror and Call before we moved to stories based on them.
Let’s get our read on!
