The Gable Window is a short story by American author August Derleth. The story was probably inspired by H P Lovecraft's Commonplace entry number 118: Something seen at oriel window of forbidden room in ancient manor house. Set in a pocket of hills off the fictional Aylesbury Pike, it is base on relatives of a character from Lovecraft's story "The Whisperer in Darkness". - AsNotedIn
I moved into my cousin Wilbur's home less than a month after his untimely death, not without misgivings, for its isolation in a pocket of the hills off the Aylesbury Pike was not to my liking. Yet I moved with a sense of fitness that this haven of my favorite cousin should have descended to me.
