Synopsis
The little-known American writer Eleanor M. Ingram (1886–1921) published eight novels (one of them filmed by Cecil B. DeMille) between 1909 and 1921, but only one—The Thing from the Lake (1921)—is of interest today. This is largely because H. P. Lovecraft read the book in 1927, remarking: “Eleanor M. Ingram’s ‘Thing from the Lake’ is a really good story—with a genuine thread of horror despite best-seller form.” Although it would be an exaggeration to say that Ingram’s book inspired Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos (which Lovecraft had already outlined in “The Call of Cthulhu” [1926]), the novel could have inspired “The Dunwich Horror” (1928), which echoes The Thing from the Lake in suggesting the presence of monsters from another dimension. But the novel is a fine piece of ghostly fiction in its own right. This edition contains a detailed introduction by leading Lovecraft scholar S. T. Joshi.
