"Old Bugs" by H. P. Lovecraft is a short story that stands out among the author's oeuvre as a rare example of humor and self-parody. Written in 1919, but not published until 1959 by Arkham House, the story is a satirical account of the downfall of a former scholar and poet who succumbs to alcoholism and drug addiction. The story is also a thinly veiled warning to Lovecraft's friend Alfred Galpin, who had expressed a desire to try alcohol before the onset of Prohibition. Lovecraft, a staunch teetotaler, wrote the story as a way of dissuading Galpin from indulging in such vices, and even included a photograph of Galpin's former fiancée Eleanor Wing as a symbol of his lost love and potential.
