Originally published in November of 1933 in the Fantasy Fan Magazine.
Best known as the father of Lovecraftian Horror and the Cthulhu Mythology, H.P. Lovecraft, in his short life, became a master of weird and horrifying fiction.
In this story we see a man, Barzai the Wise, attempt to meet the gods. We find out what happens when man’s pride swells with self importance and we find out if the gods find him worthy.
