"The Horror in Clay" concerns a small bas-relief sculpture found among the papers, which the narrator describes: " my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings." In the text, Thurston recounts his discovery of notes left behind by his grand-uncle, George Gammell Angell, a prominent professor of Semitic languages at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, who died suddenly in "the winter of 1926–27" after being "jostled by a nautical-looking negro." "The Horror in Clay" "The Call of Cthulhu" is presented as a manuscript "found among the papers of the late Francis Wayland Thurston, of Boston".
