“The Secret Cave” is one of H. P. Lovecraft's earliest tales, written during his childhood around the age of eight. The story is a short adventure about two siblings who discover a mysterious cave that hides eerie secrets. Though simple in style, it already shows Lovecraft's youthful fascination with hidden places, mystery, and the unknown. This juvenile work gives a glimpse into the budding imagination that would later shape his cosmic horror fiction.
