“The Beast From the Abyss” is a reflective and contemplative piece by Robert E. Howard, shared in a letter (#268) to H.P. Lovecraft, circa November 1933. It delves deep into Howard’s observations and philosophies regarding cats, their nature, and their relationship with humanity and the environment.
