The Dreams in the Witch House

The Dreams in the Witch House is a horror short story written by H. P. Lovecraft and originally published in 1933.

Walter Gilman, a mathematics student at Miskatonic University, rents an attic room in an old Arkham house once occupied by the accused witch Keziah Mason. As feverish dreams connect his studies of non-Euclidean space with local folklore, he begins to fear that the room’s strange angles may open onto other dimensions—and that Keziah and her familiar, Brown Jenkin, are more than legends.

"He was in the changeless, legend-haunted city of Arkham, with its clustering gambrel roofs that sway and sag over attics where witches hid from the King's men in the dark, olden years of the Province."
