I know I said I was caught up with my YouTube posts, but I was looking through my notes and I did miss a couple, so I'll try putting up those posts around one a week until I finish them.
This one is my reading and reaction to what might be the earliest example of Lovecraft's fiction: a tiny little short story (we would call it "flash fiction" today) that he wrote at the age of six!
The story is called "The Little Glass Bottle" and it's actually very neat. Rather than horror, six year old Lovecraft decided to write a story mixing comedy, "it's too good to be true," and a prank in good fun.
Go and see the original images in Lovecraft's own handwriting here.
