"The Lamp of Alhazred" is a short story, first published in the October 1957 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction as a "posthumous collaboration" between August Derleth and H. P. Lovecraft. While most such "collaborations" were entirely written by Derleth based on fragmentary story ideas from Lovecraft, "The Lamp of Alhazred" incorporates text from Lovecraft's final and unfinished piece of correspondence recounting hiking Neutaconkanut Hill in Rhode Island from Lovecraft's final and unfinished piece of correspondence. (HPL: Selected Letters of H. P. Lovecraft 5.930)
