comment
A short story by H. P. Lovecraft and Kenneth J. Stirling originally written in 1936, but not published until 1939, after Lovecraft's death, in an issue of Weird Tales magazine.The story is told through the logs of Kenton J. Stanfield, a prospector employed by a crystal company to harvest energy-producing crystals from Venus, each one holding vast amounts of energy. Unfortunately for Stanfield and other company prospectors, the crystals are also worshipped by Venus' hostile natives, referred to as Man-lizards. Stanfield's search eventually brings him to the Erycinian highlands, better known as Eryx, where he finds himself stuck in an invisible maze.The story is unique in that it's Lovecraft's first and only foray into straight-up science fiction and in how much it diverts from his standard tropes. While it does involve aliens, there's no supernatural or cosmic horror to be seen. Nothing but the fear and isolation faced by Stanfield as tries to navigate the maze while his supplies are running low. Furthermore, it concludes with what is essentially a message against colonization and colonialist greed, which, for Lovecraft, is an uncommon position to say the least.Can be read here. A reading can be heard here.

comment
Starfish Language: The Man-Lizards seem to communicate and even 'laugh' by waving the tentacles that hang from their chests. They do this to apparently mock Stanfield regularly after they gather around the maze.

Venus Is Wet
 In the Walls of Eryx / int_1dd66104
comment
Venus Is Wet: Venus is depicted as a tropical planet filled with lush, swampy jungles and home to diverse wildlife. Some example of its geography include the Erycinian Highlands (or Eryx, for short), the Dionaean Plateau, and the yellow clay regions near the north pole. However, the atmosphere is not breathable to humans and would kill a man within thirty seconds. Stanfield laments having to wear heavy breathing masks and periodically changing filter cartridges and replenishing his oxygen supply.

Non-Indicative Name: Stanfield notes that, despite calling them Man-Lizards, the Venusians share no connection with terrestrial reptiles. Up close, the only vaguely reptilian things about them are their flat heads and green skin. Otherwise, they border on being bipedal Starfish Aliens.

Invisible Wall
 In the Walls of Eryx / int_2f755152
comment
Invisible Wall: The material of the maze walls is smooth, uniform, glassy, and perfectly transparent, yet exceptionally strong and resistant to both marking and fire. It's nothing that Stanfield knows the Man-lizards or even humans could make. It proves to be breakable by diamond drills and explosives, and the crystal company demolishes it after recovering Stanfield and Dwight's bodies.

Downer Ending
 In the Walls of Eryx / int_4e3d253b
comment
Downer Ending/Cruel Twist Ending: An after action report by the crystal company reveals Stanfield died a slow death in the maze and, in his exhaustion and despair, had overlooked a path that could've let him back into the main chamber. A path that was right behind him when he collapsed from despair. Additionally, the company writes off Stanfield's pleas for humanity to leave Venus as delusional, but does commit to his suggestion to wipe out the natives entirely after this incident. Given that they are eventually able to break through the material of the maze, it seems likely - but not certain - that their total conquest will eventually be successful.

Man-Eating Plant: Early in the story, Stanfield is attacked by a "carnivorous blossom", but he's able to hack himself free of it without much difficulty. Less dramatically, the efjeh-weeds try to eat Dwight's corpse, but by the time they reach it, he's already been Stripped to the Bone by animal scavengers. So instead, the weeds eat his space suit.

comment
Asshole Victim: As bad as his situation might be, it's hard to call Stanfield sympathetic. He's scornful, heartless, exploitative, and even considers urging his superiors to just exterminate the Man-Lizards after he's tired of their attacks. Attacks that wouldn't be happening if humans didn't keep trying to steal their crystals. His entire situation wouldn't have happened if it weren't for his desire to claim one particularly large crystal. He does come to regret his actions shortly before his death though, asking that humanity vacate Venus and let them keep the crystals.

Shout-Out: Many of the names for Venusian life- Ugrats, Skorahs, Efjeh-weeds, Akmans, Farnoth-Flies, Sificlighs, - are references to other sci-fi writers of the day. Not all of them are complimentary. Kenton J. Stanfield's name is a spin on that of co-author Kenneth J. Stirling, though it was Lovecraft who named the character. Early on, Stanfield complains about using "Carter oxygen masks", which could be a reference to the John Carter of Mars series of Planetary Romance novels. Lovecraft was a fan of them as a young man but eventually soured on them, finding them juvenile and unscientific.

Insufficiently Advanced Alien: Stanfield isn't impressed with the Man-Lizards, who he considers hardly sapient tribal beggars whose only talents lay in building. Even then, he compares their cities to hardly anything more than anthills and beaver dams. It's one of the reasons he doesn't consider it possible that they built the maze. Whether or not they did, they're smart enough to use it as a trap, even baiting it with a huge crystal.

Artistic License – Space: While awaiting his first night in the maze, Stanfield notes the Sun setting in the west. Venus is covered in impenetrable clouds, rotates the other way (opposite to every other planet in our solar system), and the Venusian day is longer than its year, so sunset would be unnoticeable in the short term, all of which was mostly-known in Lovecraft's time.

Swamps Are Evil: Though much of Eryx is a high, dry plain, it is also home to a grotesque, swampy land home to a maze you can't escape. Stanfield frequently complains about the discomfort of sleeping in the slime of the swamp, wishing instead he were on the drier plains.

Fire-Breathing Weapon: One item in Stanfield's arsenal is a flame pistol, which seems to be a miniature handheld flamethrower. It makes short work of native Venusian life, but ultimately has no effect on the maze walls.

Mushroom Samba: Venus' native Mirage Plants produce a gas that penetrate every make of mask and cause intense hallucinations, which Standfield experiences firsthand at one point.

The Dog Bites Back: The Man-Lizards, whether or not they built the maze, definitely used it to trap unsuspecting crystal-hunters after everything they did to them.
