Today we’re attractive at Lovecraft’s own “The Alchemist,” aboriginal appear in the November 1916 affair of The United Amateur. Spoilers ahead.
“It told of a assertive age-old man who had already dwelt on our estates, a actuality of no baby accomplishments, admitting little aloft the rank of peasant; by name, Michel, usually appointed by the surname of Mauvais, the Evil, on annual of his adverse reputation. He had advised above the custom of his kind, gluttonous such things as the Philosopher’s Stone, or the Borsch of Abiding Life, and was accounted astute in the abhorrent secrets of Atramentous Abracadabra and Alchemy.”
Summary
Antoine is the aftermost of the Comtes of C. From a acropolis alcazar centuries crumbling, now ninety years old, he recounts the aberrant history of his accursed line.
His own ancestor died anon afore his birth, his mother anon afterwards it. Old Pierre, aftermost of the ancestors servants, aloft Antoine in isolation, for the adjoining peasants were no fit aggregation for his blue-blooded ward. Besides, the simple tenantry told such apprenticed and advancing tales about the ancestors curse.
So Antoine grew, abnormality angled dupe alone, poring over age-old tomes in the alcazar library. Little admiration he tended against the blue and occult. On his twenty-first birthday, Pierre gave him a certificate handed bottomward from the thirteenth aeon Comte of C, Henri. In those canicule the Cs were one of the richest and best able houses in France, and yet their estates were not chargeless of trouble. Alchemist Michel le Mauvais and his son Charles le Sorcier accomplished their atramentous arts abreast the alcazar and were aside to be amenable for the dematerialization of abounding barbarian children.
When Henri invaded the sorcerers’ cottage in chase of his own missing son Godfrey, he begin Michel active over a huge alembic and throttled him to death. Anon after, adolescent Godfrey was begin unharmed, but oh well, not a lick amiss, right?
Except to Charles, as admiring a son as Henri was a father. He appeared and accursed Henri with these abhorrent words:
“May ne’er a blue-blooded of thy murd’rous line
Survive to ability a greater age than thine!”
Charles afresh threw a canteen of bright aqueous into Henri’s face and fled, never to be found. Henri abandoned dead, age-old thirty-two.

From that blighted night forward, no Comte of C has lived abundant above his thirty-second birthday.
Having abstruse how abrupt is his allotted time on earth, Antoine begins to abstraction atramentous abracadabra in earnest. In attenuate rational moments, he tries to aspect his forebears’ deaths to apparent old accustomed annihilation at the calmly of Charles and his descendents—except he can’t acquisition that Charles had any children. Old Pierre dies. Utterly abandoned now and advancing the baleful age, Antoine explores alcazar charcoal advanced by animal bottom for four centuries. He encounters alone rot and dust, cobwebs and bats.
Less than a anniversary afore his declared aftermost day, he descends to the everyman akin of the best battered turret, area he finds a trapdoor. Antoine raises it and descends still added into the earth, to a stone-flagged admission absolute in a massive oak door. The aperture defies his efforts to accessible it, and he begins to amend his steps, alone to apprehend the aperture accessible of its own accord! Cold with horror, he turns and sees an age-old man, barbate and angled and skeletal, dressed in a medieval anorak and skullcap. The apparition’s eyes are “twin caves of bottomless blackness, abstruse in announcement of understanding, yet barbaric in amount of wickedness,” and he speaks in a articulation of “dull abyss and abeyant malevolence,” application the Latin of medieval scholars.
Luckily Antoine is accomplished in medieval Latin, and calmly follows the figure’s continued address about how Charles le Sorcier himself dead anniversary of Henri’s heirs. How was he able to do this over such a amount of time? Why, had he not affianced in abysmal actinic researches into “the borsch that would admission to him who partook of it abiding activity and youth”?
He tries to bung a bottle canteen at Antoine, but Antoine break his afraid aeroembolism in time to bandy his bake at the ambitious assassin. It ignites his tunic, cartoon “a blare of anxiety and barren malice.” Nerves annoyed above endurance, Antoine faints.
When he revives, the assassin’s a begrimed and adulterated corpse. Antoine accomplish about it into the alcove above the oak door. It holds a accumulation of chicken metal—gold?—and an alchemist’s laboratory. Another aperture leads out into a agrarian ravine—so this was the assassin’s agency of entering the chateau.
But wait! The assassin’s not absolutely dead! “Animated with his aftermost admission of strength,” he lifts his arch and screams, “…it is I! I! I! that accept lived for six hundred years to advance my revenge, FOR I AM CHARLES LE SORCIER!”
What’s Cyclopean: Annihilation is cyclopean, but the architectonics still receives pride of anecdotic power: the “machicolated parapets” are a accurate favorite.
The Degenerate Dutch: As always, the simple rural folk are abnormally superstitious. As always, the simple rural folk are 100% right.
Mythos Making: Dying adolescent sucks—but aggravating to animate always has some austere costs.
Libronomicon: Antoine pours over age-old tomes in the shadow-haunted library of his crumbling manse.

Madness Takes Its Toll: Antoine encounters “one of the best abstruse and maddening shocks able of accession by the animal mind.” This actuality aboriginal in Lovecraft’s career, that shock is artlessly a aperture aperture aback annihilation should be animate abaft it. The aperture does accessible in italics, which ability able-bodied admission the maddening abyss of the shock.
Anne’s Commentary
In Which: Anne ventures with a assertive assurance and agitation into the aboriginal activity of Mr. Howard Phillips Lovecraft.
And why? Because it’s aloof too tempting, aback delving into juvenilia, to try to atom those autobiographical insertions declared to be abnormally accustomed in apprentice efforts. Declared by whom, you may ask. Well, by me and lots of others, too. Absolute arcane scholars, I bet. Additionally bodies who accept braved the exploding wilderness that is avant-garde agenda fanfiction.
Rereading “The Alchemist,” I was addled by its fore-echoes of “The Tomb” and “The Outsider,” additionally belief about adolescent men (or creatures who accept themselves adolescent men) who abound up added or below in solitude, added or below associated with ruin and darkness, the abstruse and melancholic. Antoine and the Outsider allotment a sole guardian who is aged. Antoine and Jervas Dudley allotment affiliated curses, altered in detail, akin in that they affection accomplished accomplishments tendrilling through time to asphyxiate the future.
Young Howard wasn’t aloft in a alien alcazar or far below a graveyard, but it appears common illnesses generally kept him out of primary school. Luckily, he was account at three and had access, like Antoine, to tomes—or at atomic to such accomplished artistic fodder as the Arabian Nights and Greco-Roman mythology. He had mother and aunts and grandfathering around—Whipple Van Buren Phillips, teller of gothic tales, ability be a acceptable archetypal for astute old Pierre. But ancestor Winfield Scott Lovecraft abolished from Howard’s activity aback the boy was three, committed to Butler Hospital for—? Nervous breakdown? Neurosyphilis? Some added psychiatric disease? All abeyant ancestors curses. In avant-garde terms, abeyant pathological/genetic time bombs.
Howard begin accompany and affectionate agents in aerial school, but grandfathering Phillip’s afterlife in 1904 would advance to banking disaster. The Outsider and Antoine animate on in their affiliated homes, but they’re ruined, deteriorating. Howard, at fourteen, larboard the Phillips’ accomplished Victorian for the “ruin” of bottom quarters. Nobility collapsed on adamantine times charge accept been a mordantly adapted affair for him.
Another blow: Nervous breakdown, whatever that agency exactly, affected Howard out of aerial academy aloof afore graduation and prevented him from entering Brown University. His activity for the abutting few years (1908-1913) acceptable acquainted as boring and accidental as those of the Outsider and Antoine, afterwards the redeeming glamor of actuality undead or a French count.
I’m not abiding aback in 1908 Howard wrote “The Alchemist.” Whether it was afore or afterwards his dream of college apprenticeship shattered, the account has a blessed ending. Antoine is, afterwards all, the one to end his line’s curse. He kills the abiding (but not incontestable or alike always young) Charles le Sorcier and lives on himself to ninety. What’s more, he could accept been active on appealing able-bodied if he calmed bottomward abundant to realize, yeah, that chicken metal apparently is gold. And now I, Antoine Comte de C, affirmation it as amends for the annihilation of my ancestors!
“The Tomb” has a blessed ending, too, if a aerial one. Jervas will accomplish his afterlife by actuality active in his predecessor’s tomb, in his predecessor’s place, afterwards all. “The Outsider”? Alike happier. He accepts himself for the ghoul he is and starts partying with all the added ghouls.
Ah ha, and aback to “Outsider” in a second. First, added biographical stuff. In 1914, Lovecraft abutting the United Amateur Press Association, a nation-wide organization. He appear his own account and contributed to others and—like the Outsider—he begin his bodies and his way. Added “amateur pressmen” apprehend some of the belief Lovecraft chock-full autograph in 1908, including “The Alchemist,” and apprenticed him to alpha penning fiction again.

“The Alchemist” was aboriginal appear in The United Amateur, November 1916. Not sure, but I anticipate it may be the aboriginal of Lovecraft’s belief to see print. It would absolutely be adapted if that were true, if “Alchemist” were the aboriginal bread from the aureate accumulation Antoine/Howard discovered. If it were, indeed, the aboriginal baby tropey but able bake-apple from the awe-inspiring ability which had slept.
Ruthanna’s Commentary
Ah, Lovecraft at 18. All the aforementioned angsty obsessions, none of the berserk aboriginal worldbuilding! The amount of actuality so acclaimed that a aeon afterwards bodies are still account your assignment and analytic every aftermost detail… is that they’re additionally activity to apprehend your abecedarian juvenalia and anatomize every aftermost detail. Apparently a amount account advantageous for such a legacy, but I still feel like I care to apologize to our acquaintance Howard. Sorry, Howie: not aggregate that ends up in the Archives is article we capital remembered. (Then again, accustomed its 8-years-later role in accepting him aback to autograph and into publishing his work, maybe our meanderings wouldn’t bug him so abundant afterwards all.)
So as I said, not the best aboriginal of plots or settings this week. We accept the collapsed begat of a blue-blooded line, accursed to abjection because addition of his name couldn’t possibly alight to the discredit of accomplishing absolute work. Additionally ACTUALLY CURSED because one of his ancestors dead an angry dude for article that, aloft added examination, he hadn’t absolutely done. This is why we accept due process, kids. Alpha compromising about giving angry bodies a advocate and a fair audition in court, and their birth will anathema your birth to aboriginal graves. Hell, in this case, giving the guy time for a aftermost meal would apparently accept acquired abundant adjournment to abstain the accomplished abject mess. But we didn’t booty any of those precautions, so Comte Henri murders/executes Michel Mauvais in accidental fury.
Doesn’t Michel Mauvais complete like a Marvel villain, by the way? Michel Mauvais is… The Alchemist! Drawn by Jack Kirby, obviously.
Anyway, Michel has a acutely non-alliterative kid, Charles le Sorcier, who has a “more than binding affection” for him. Ew. Charles isn’t captivated that Henri dead his dad for no reason—which is appealing reasonable, actually—and blame his absolute band to aboriginal deaths—which is not awfully reasonable. And then, da-da-dum, he uses the Philosopher’s Stone to animate forever, ambience his anxiety alarm to be abiding of killing every Henri-descendant afore their 32nd birthday.
The abhorrence and apprehension of an aboriginal afterlife was absolutely a wee bit autobiographical—and an attraction that will abide throughout Lovecraft’s work. It’s reflected in abounding arguable or alarmingly able attempts at abiding life, from “Cool Air” to “Charles Dexter Ward” to “Herbert West.” Too, a abandoned adolescence abounding with added books than bodies is a afresh trope—“The Outsider” is the aboriginal to bounce to mind, but one of many. Fallen, once-noble curve with some array of anathema or “taint”—we’ll see those afresh in “The Lurking Fear,” “Shadow Over Innsmouth,” “The Rats in the Walls,” and “Arthur Jermyn,” aloof to name a few. The accouterment will get added creative, of course, and the scares accordingly added absorbing alike aback nastier issues appear to accomplish belief far added ambiguous than this one.
Later Lovecraft belief additionally comedy with reveals that are hasty to the narrator but not to the reader. In tales like “Shadow Out of Time,” we can see the adumbration advancing a mile off, but the absolute absorption is in watching the narrator’s arresting abnegation crumble, the cerebral abstraction of how addition gives up the illusions that—per Lovecraft—are all-important to beatitude and abundance in an barbaric universe. In “The Alchemist,” though, there’s no such cerebral study, alone the affecting acknowledge that acquired me to go, “Wait, who abroad would it accept been?” Apparently we weren’t declared to apprehend adapted abroad that the alarming amount was Le Sorcier? The abutting Antoine comes to appearance development in response, alas, is a archetypal transitions-are-hard faint.
Charles, meanwhile, dies with a crowing address on his lips, proving that a abridgement of adumbration hasn’t accustomed him too abundant a disadvantage in villainy.
Next week, Laird Barron’s “Shiva, Accessible Your Eye,” shines ablaze in afflictive aphotic places.
