"The Doom that Came to Sarnath" (1920) is an early short story by H. P. Lovecraft. It is written in a mythic/fairy tale style and is associated with his Dream Cycle. It was first published in ''The Scot'', a Scottish amateur fiction magazine, in June 1920. ''The Doom That Came to Sarnath and Other Stories'' is also the title for a collection of short stories by Lovecraft, first published in February 1971. ==Inspiration==
The influence of Lord Dunsany on the story can be seen in the reference to a throne "wrought of one piece of ivory, though no man lives who knows whence so vast a piece could have come", which evokes the gate "carved out of one solid piece" of ivory in Dunsany's "Idle Days on the Yann".〔Joshi and Schultz, p. 70.〕 Though Sarnath is a historical city in India —the place where the Buddha first taught— Lovecraft said that he thought he invented the name independently.〔Joshi and Schultz, p. 69.〕
