An Exchange of Souls

An Exchange of Souls is a horror novel by the late British author Barry Pain. First published by Eveleigh Nash in 1911, it was later reprinted by Hippocampus Press in an omnibus edition with Henri Béraud's Lazarus as part of Lovecraft's Library, a series which republishes stories H. P. Lovecraft was known to have read and admired.
== Synopsis ==
The story revolves around a scientist who creates a machine which allows him to swap his consciousness with another; he uses it on his fiancé, with horrific consequences.
== Behind the Mythos ==
An Exchange of Souls has been suggested as a possible inspiration for H. P. Lovecraft's short horror story "The Thing on the Doorstep".
