The White Ship

A lighthouse keeper journeys on a mystical ship through dreamlike lands searching for perfection, only to lose everything when he chases an impossible ideal. Overall, Lovecraft's short fiction builds a universe where mystery and terror lie just beneath the surface of the everyday world.
