"The Outsider" by H.P. Lovecraft, another creepy gem from the Penguin trove THE CALL OF CTHULHU AND OTHER WEIRD STORIES edited by S.T. Joshi. If IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE can be viewed as the true pilot for THE TWILIGHT ZONE, then "The Outsider" would feel right at home in the premiere issue of TALES FROM THE CRYPT, it has that certain slant of bite. Now I'm breezing through FRANK R. PAUL: THE FATHER OF SCIENCE FICTION ART. Beautiful, stunning, mind-blowing.
