520			_a"The horror in the burying-ground by Hazel Heald and H. P. Lovecraft" is a short horror story written in the early 20th century. Told through the hushed gossip of a fading New England village, it dwells on fear, guilt, and the terror of premature burial. The likely topic is a double interment that may not be what it seems, and the way rumor and conscience turn a local tragedy into lingering dread. In the dying town of Stillwater, Sophie Sprague lives under the shadow of her brutal brother Tom and the unwelcome attentions of Henry Thorndike, a disliked undertaker dabbling in experimental embalming. After one drunken spree Tom collapses and is declared dead by the near-senile doctor; during the preparation of the body, a convulsion causes Henry to inject himself with his own fluid. At Tom’s crowded funeral Henry collapses, gasping that his drug only mimics death and begging not to be buried, but he is pronounced dead and laid in the ground alongside Tom the same day. Johnny Dow, a half-wit who helped Henry, raves that both are alive, and that night Sophie twice screams as faint, far-off voices seem to accuse her and hint that she colluded to “get rid” of Tom before betraying Henry to the grave. From then on she shutters herself indoors while Johnny haunts the burying-ground, warning that the dead will speak and someday come for her—a lingering, suggestive horror the town’s whispers never let die.
