Description
In the depths of the Catskill Mountains, Joe Slater, a primitive inhabitant, commits a gruesome murder in a fit of madness. Confined to a lunatic asylum, he becomes the subject of fascination for an unnamed narrator who works within its walls. Plagued by nightmares and plagued by cosmic visions that his limited education fails to articulate, Slater harbors a secret that the narrator is determined to unravel.

The excerpt from the article that concludes the story is authentic
