Summary: The outsider is a tale of a Baron who hasn't yet explored all of his castle. He wanders around in the dead of night to find a room and finds himself at a golden archway in the cellar and a giant pyramid that lays beyond it. As soon as he touches the golden arch Demons and ghouls awake, knocking the Baron over...he has awaken the lost souls of an entire millennia.
Memorable Line: Ghastly and terrible was that dead, stairless cylinder of rock; black, ruined and deserted, and sinister with startled bats whose wings made no noise. But more ghastly and terrible stillwas the slowness of my progress; for clumb as I might the darkness overheard grew no thinner, and a new chull as of haunted and venerable would assailed me. (Pg. 2+3 )
Style: I don't really know how to express the style, I can say it felt more or less of a prologue of a larger piece of work. Lovecraft makes the reader eager to read more, but disappoints by ending the story abruptly.
Exterior Notes: (Did he plan to expand on this body of work? )
