This final collection of the miscellaneous writings of H. P. Lovecraft contains over a dozen poems, the provocative and controversial title essay, "Something About Cats," pieces from Lovecraft's little-known magazine, "The Conservative," the burlesque, "The Battle that Ended the Century," and notes for such famous stories as "The Shadow Over Innsmouth," "At the Mountains of Madness," and "The Shadow Out of Time."
In addition, around half dozen stories by other hands, in which Lovecraft took part, either by revision or suggestion, are included. Among them are "The Invisible Monster," by Sonia H. Greene; "Satan's Servants," by Robert Bloch; "The Last Test" and "The Electric Executioner," by Adolphe de Castro; and "The Horror in the Burying-Ground," by Hazel Heald.
Finally, friends of Lovecraft have contributed to this volume certain studies and appreciations, such as the memoirs by Rheinhart Kleiner and Samuel Loveman; the remembrance by Sonia H. Davis, who was for some years the wife of H. P. Lovecraft; the addenda to "H. P. L.: A Memoir," by August Derleth; a portrait of Lovecraft as few people knew him, by E. Hoffmann Price; Fritz Leiber, Jr.'s study of Lovecraft's work; and poems in tribute by Vincent Starrett and August Derleth.
