The Thing on the Doorstep by H. P. Lovecraft

A tale of dark sorcery, possession, and identity, this story centers on the troubled marriage between Edward Derby and the enigmatic Asenath Waite. As strange behaviors and ancient rituals surface, a chilling truth unfolds—one that defies life and death. With themes of body-swapping and eldritch knowledge, this story is one of Lovecraft’s most terrifying psychological horrors. Gripping and disturbing, it explores the loss of self in the face of the arcane.
