Works by August Derleth related to H. P. Lovecraft's works and notes

• "The Lurker at the Threshold" (1945)
• "The Survivor" (1954)
• "The Ancestor" (1957)
• "The Gable Window" (1957)
• "The Lamp of Alhazred" (1957)
• "The Peabody Heritage" (1957)
• "The Shadow Out of Space" (1957)
• "Wentworth's Day" (1957)
• "The Fisherman of Falcon Point" (1959)
• "The Shuttered Room" (1959)
• "Witches' Hollow" (1962)

• "The Horror from the Middle Span" (1974)
• "Innsmouth Clay" (1974)
• "The Watchers Out of Time" (1974)

While put forward as posthumous collaborations while Derleth was alive, the status of these works as collaborations with Lovecraft was swiftly disputed after Derleth’s death. Subsequent critics consider them part of the Cthulhu Mythos, but often split this into the original "Lovecraft Mythos" and the later and lesser "Derleth Mythos".^[2]

Unknown authorship

• "The Inevitable Conflict". This was published in Amazing Stories (December 1930 and January 1931) under the name Paul H. Lovering. A variety of evidence, including statistical analysis of the writing structure, has been put forward to suggest that Lovecraft was not the author.^[3]

Juvenilia

• "The Little Glass Bottle" (1896 / 1959)^[4]
• "The Noble Eavesdropper" (1897; unpublished, nonextant)
• "The Secret Cave, or John Lees Adventure" (c.1898–1899 / 1959)
• "The Mystery of the Grave-Yard" (c.1898–1899 / 1959)
• "The Secret of the Grave" (before 1902; unpublished, nonextant, may simply be "The Mystery of the Grave-Yard")
• "The Mysterious Ship" (1902 / 1959)
• "The Haunted House" (before 1902; unpublished, nonextant)
• "John, the Detective" (before 1902; unpublished, nonextant)

• "The Picture" (1907; unpublished, nonextant)
• "The Alchemist" (1908 / November 1916)

1. Scholar S.T. Joshi considers this a spurious Lovecraft story. It was an account of a dream extracted from one of Lovecraft's letters by editor Miske (cf. "The Evil Clergyman", and "The Very Old Folk"), and published under a title given it by Miske.
2. S. T. Joshi (2009). H.P. Lovecraft : A Comprehensive Bibliography. Tampa, FL: University of Tampa Press. ISBN 978-1-59732-069-6. from the original on July 25, 2015. Retrieved July 25, 2015. These sixteen stories, listed as by "H.P. Lovecraft and August Derleth", were in fact written almost entirely by Derleth. In most cases, the stories were based on one or more ideas noted in Lovecraft's Commonplace Book; for example, "The Fisherman of Falcon Point" was based on this entry: "Fisherman casts his net into the sea by moonlight—what he finds." Plotting, description, dialogue, characterization, and other elements were entirely by Derleth. As such they cannot be classified as works by Lovecraft. In some instances Derleth incorporated actual prose passages by Lovecraft into his stories. The Lurker at the Threshold (a 50,000-word novel) contains about 1,200 words by Lovecraft, most of it taken from a fragment entitled "Of Evill Sorceries Done in New England" (see B-i-42), the balance from a fragment now titled "The Rose Window" (see B-ii-322). "The Survivor" was based on a comparatively lengthy plot sketch plus random notes for the story jotted down by Lovecraft in 1934. A descriptive passage of "The Lamp of Alhazred" was based on a portion of a letter by Lovecraft to Derleth, November 18, 1936. These extracts or paraphrases, however, have not been deemed significant enough to merit inclusion in this bibliography.
