Publisher's Summary

Lovecraft's story regarding a tram conductor whose head transforms into tentacles, recorded in a letter dated November 25, 1927, to Donald Wandrei.

The story is currently considered inauthentic, as it is partially not authored by Lovecraft. The content of two letters, one containing 'The Very Old Folk' and the other with this 'work,' Wandrei sold to the publisher of the magazine 'Scienti-Snaps' (later renamed 'Bizarre'), J. Chapman Miske. He published both texts as stories written by Lovecraft, with the addition of two paragraphs to 'The Thing in the Moonlight': one at the beginning and one at the end.
