Notes
According to {{A|August Derleth}}'s Introduction to the Arkham House editions of Dagon and Other Macabre Tales, the original version of this essay was written in 1926-1927 and first published in The Recluse (1927) by W. Paul Cook. The essay was subsequently "lightly" revised as per Stephen Jones' "Introduction: Supernatural Horror in Literature" in "H. P. Lovecraft's Book of the Supernatural: Classic Tales of the Macabre". It was in the process of being reprinted as a serial in The Fantasy Fan from 1933 through February 1935 when the magazine was discontinued. According to Acknowledgments in "H. P. Lovecraft's Book of the Supernatural: Classic Tales of the Macabre", the revised version was published in "Amateur Correspondent" #1, May-June 1937 and "Supramundane Stories" #2, Spring 1938. The version left unfinished at Lovecraft's death in 1937 was published posthumously in ''The Outsider and Others''.
