Hallowe'en in a Suburb

"Hallowe'en in a Suburb" is a poem by H. P. Lovecraft. During his life, it was published in The National Amateur in March 1926, there named simply "In a Suburb". It was later published in the Arkham House collection Beyond the Wall of Sleep in 1943, and in the magazine Weird Tales in September 1952.
==Synopsis ==
The poem describes a supernatural village that exists only in nightmares, lit by the light of the moon, and infested with flying vampires, harpies, ghouls lurking on graveyards, and all types of undead creatures. The poet muses that the world of sunlight will eventually join this morbid scenery, as "the hounds of Time" claim everything.
==Trivia==
*Although most likely a coincidence, the "hounds of Time" are evocative of the Hounds of Tindalos.
