When initially published, "The Loved Dead" was banned by the state of Indiana. You're invited to see why for yourself. In it, Lovecraft and Eddy crafted one of the most disturbing characters in fiction. We see him grow from a youth ostracized from society because of his differences, to going on and becoming a necrophilia, one who has sexual intercourse with or attraction to corpses, and later a serial killer. The character's even more disturbing in that he's a reminder that while he's only fiction, people like him really exist: Theodore "Ted" Bundy and Ed Gein being only a few of far too many.
