H. P. Lovecraft 
Reminiscence of Dr. Samuel Johnson [EPUB ebook] 

Written as a spoof of his own antiquarian style, "A Reminiscence" was Lovecraft’s second published work (following The Alchemist), and was published under the pseudonym Humphrey Littlewit, Esq. It is a simple recollection of Littlewit’s relation to an old friend, and the effect that friend had on the circle of company with which he associated. (Goodreads)
