Howard touches on some powerful concepts in his James Allison series. Although this story (which appeared in the February 1934 issue of WEIRD TALES) was the only one of the series sold during his lifetime, he wrote a total of eight in which a sickly man lies dying and vividly remembers his earlier incarnations.
