From the publisher

'The Picture in the House' is a short story written by H. P. Lovecraft. It was written on December 12, 1920, and first published in the July 1919 issue of The National Amateur - which was published in the summer of 1921. Plot: While riding on his bicycle in the Miskatonic Valley of rural New England, a genealogist seeks shelter from an approaching storm in an apparently abandoned house, only to find that it is occupied by a 'loathsome old, white-bearded, and ragged man,' speaking in 'an extreme form of Yankee dialect...thought long extinct.' The narrator notices that the house is full of antique books, exotic artifacts, and furniture predating the American Revolution...
