A strange entry in Lovecraft's works, but still an altogether good story. Lovecraft weaves a tale of mystery throughout the short story, starting with the fatal end of the titular character and moving backwards, telling readers about Arthur's great-great-great grandfather and then moving down the line until he gets back to Arthur and tells readers why Arthur lit himself on fire at the very beginning (and/or end? I don't know) of the story
Not exactly what I read Lovecraft for, but still a great story which, if you know a thing or two about Lovecraft, gives insight into the person and his writing style.
