About this listen
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.
