This project has its genesis in one I started back in the 1980s but never really got off the ground, and it is a living document that will continue to grow and be refined indefinitely. Titles of short stories appear in quotes and are followed by the date and venue of their first publication in parentheses. Thanks to Wikipedia for providing some of the material that appears on this site!

"Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family" (The Wolverine, March and June 1921): This short story examines the strange and disturbing ancestry of the title character and the results of his examination into it. It was republished three years later in Weird Tales, much to Lovecraft's chagrin, as "The White Ape" (prompting him to comment in a letter "If I ever entitled a story 'The White Ape,' there would be no ape in it."). The story was thereafter titled simply as "Arthur Jermyn" until it appeared in Dagon and Other Macabre Tales in 1986. See full publication history and electronic text.
