The Evil Clergyman by H. P. Lovecraft

In this brief, dreamlike account, a man explores a mysterious attic and is warned not to touch anything. When he disobeys, he witnesses a terrifying transformation that alters his very identity. Lovecraft crafts a surreal and ambiguous horror centered on forbidden knowledge and spiritual corruption. Though short, the story lingers with a sense of dread and unreality. A haunting fragment that feels like a nightmare half-remembered.
