The House of Lost Identity is a collection of short stories by Donald Corley, illustrated by the author.
Corley did not limit himself to one genre, but the primary distinction of the collection is its inclusion of a number of classic dark fantasies.
It was first published in hardcover in New York by Robert M. McBride in May 1927,[1] and had a number of reprintings; printings after the first include an introduction by James Branch Cabell.
The collection was named after its initial story, "The House of Lost Identity".
Lin Carter describes Corley's style as possessing a quality of "gorgeousness", which he characterizes as having "the sort of verbal richness that bejewels the pages of Clark Ashton Smith's work or the Arabian Nights ... lazy and singing, [with] a certain playfulness to it".
