9m | Nov 24, 2021

"The Terrible Old Man" is the first short story by H. P. Lovecraft to introduce readers to his imaginary New England setting of Kingsport. It is a very short story filled with a great deal of mystery. Who is the "Terrible Old Man"? Where did he come from? How old is he? What is his name? We may never know, but this much we know...his eyes were yellow.
