Notes
Written in 1927, abridged publication in ''Weird Tales'' 1941-05-00 and 1941-07-00, complete publication in ''Beyond the Wall of Sleep'' (1943, Arkham House). Loosely adapted into the 1963 movie "The Haunted Palace", directed by Roger Corman.
According to Currey: No statement of printing on the copyright page. This text is the version published by Derleth in Night's Yawning Peal (1952) which modernized some of Lovecraft's antiquated spelling, but has a number of serious misprints. Whitaker's Cumulative Book List gives this as published in February 1952. Price from Tuck
