Hallowe'en in a Suburb
"Hallowe'en in a Suburb" is a poem by H. P. Lovecraft in which a moonlit village transforms into a landscape of creeping cosmic dread. Vampires drift past white steeples, ghouls wail among headstones, and the dead leap gleefully from their tombs. Lovecraft builds a vision where the familiar — chimneys, meadows, cobblestone rows — is quietly swallowed by an ancient, indifferent darkness. The poem moves toward a unsettling conclusion: that the living, the dead, and the man-made world are all equally destined for ruin beneath the relentless jaws of Time.
