Johnson wrote "Far Below" (1939), voted in 1953 by readers as the best story ever published in Weird Tales magazine. This story is still well regarded, and continues to be regularly anthologized in major collections such as The Weird (2010) and The Century's Best Horror Fiction (2012).

"But as for this particular place—well, you’d be surprised how many records we’ve found, how many actual evidences of the Things we’ve uncovered from Manhattan Island’s earliest history, even before the white men settled here. Ask the curator of the Aborigines Museum out on Riverside Drive about the burial customs of Island Indians a thousand years ago—customs perfectly inexplicable unless you take into consideration what they were guarding against. And ask him to show you that skull, half human and half canine, that came out of an Indian mound as far away as Albany, and those ceremonial robes of aboriginal shamans plainly traced with drawings of whitish spidery Things burrowing through conventionalized tunnels; and doing other things, too, that show the Indian artists must have known Them and Their habits. Oh yes, it’s all down there in black and white, once we had the sense to read it!

And even after white men came— what about the early writings of the old Dutch settlers, what about Jan Van der Rhees and Woulter Van Twiller?

"And then the modern writers—Lord! There’s a whole library of them on the subject. One of them, a great student of the subject, had almost as much data on Them from his reading as I’d gleaned from my years of study down here. Oh, yes; I learned a lot from Lovecraft—and he got a lot from me, too! That’s where the—well, what you might call the authenticity came from in some of his yarns that attracted the most attention! Oh, of course he had to soft-pedal the strongest parts of it—just as you’re going to have to do if you ever mention this in your own writings! But even with the worst played down, there’s still enough horror and nightmare in it to blast a man’s soul, if he lets himself think on what goes on down there, below the blessed sanity of the earth’s mercifully concealing crust.
