Publisher's summary

H.P. Lovecraft’s short story Beyond the Wall of Sleep was first published in 1919 and reprinted in Weird Tales in 1938. The tale is about an intern in a mental hospital recounting his experiences with Joe Slater, an inmate who died at the facility after being incarcerated as a criminally insane murderer. During his confinement, Slater had a series of violent seizures in which his rants and ravings revealed strange other-worldly visions.

The main theme of these outbursts involved an incorporeal being of light. The intern connected Slater and himself to a telepathic device as the murderer lay dying and received an impression from a being who claimed to live near the star Algol (The Ghoul) and who used Slater as a medium...and that night, after Slater’s death, a bright star was discovered in the sky near Algol.
