After Edward Pickman Derby marries Asenath Waite, his best friend Daniel Upton notices a change in him. This tale about swapping one鈥檚 consciousness into another body is a recurring theme in Lovecraft鈥檚 work. The slow realization of Upton that his friend 鈥 who is behaving strangely 鈥 may not be his friend at all is chilling. This tale has ties to "The Shadow Over Innsmouth," as Asenath comes from that haunted town and has fish-like features.
