Astrophobos

Astrophobos is a poem by H. P. Lovecraft.
== Overview ==
The subject of the poem is a stargazer suffering the replacement of his original visions of splendour inspired by looking at the starry night sky with visions of horror and of cacodaemons which must be fluttering around unknown stars. The change in viewpoint is matched by the change in colours of the stars he looks at, from glittering golden to muted fiery red.
== Publication History ==
"Astrophobos" was first published in The United Amateur, 17, No. 3 (January 1918). It has since seen inclusion in a number of collections, particularly those with a focus on poetry.
