The tale of a necrophiliac whose preferences are not understood by the owners of successive funeral homes employing him.
The original title was 'Beloved Dead.' The story differs significantly from C. M. Eddy's previous two works that Lovecraft had improved. He had to intervene extensively in the narrative, perhaps even writing the entire text anew. This is evident, especially in the language of the piece, rich in epithets and typical expressions for Lovecraft. S. T. Joshi even claims that HPL deliberately transformed it into a parody of sensational stories.
