The story begins with the narrator describing the night sky as observed over long sleepless nights from his window, in particular that of the Pole Star, Polaris, which he describes as "winking hideously like an insane watching eye which strives to convey some strange message, yet recalls nothing save that it once had a message to convey". He then describes the night of the aurora over his house in the swamp, and how on this night he first dreamed of a city of marble lying on a plateau between two peaks, with Polaris above in the night sky.

"Polaris" nos ubica en un barco, el Eridanus, que se encuentra en el Océano Ártico sin una misión clara. El año es 1960. Tenemos a un protagonista, el Doctor Christian, con recuerdos fragmentarios de una guerra. Tenemos a otros personajes que lo interrogan. Se van intercalando diferentes planos de narración que rebotan entre el presente y el pasado. El miedo, la culpa y una sensación física de claustrofobia marina comienzan a ganar las páginas. La tercera novela de Clemot entra en esa clase de literatura que nos propone un paseo por el abismo.

Critic William Fulwiler writes that "Polaris" is one of Lovecraft's most autobiographical stories, reflecting his feelings of guilt, frustration, and uselessness during World War I. Like the narrator, HPL was "denied a warrior's part", for he "was feeble and given to strange faintings when subjected to stress and hardships".

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890 - 1937) gilt als der bedeutendste Autor der phantastischen Horrorliteratur - quasi der "Edgar Allan Poe" des 20. Jahrhunderts. Mit dem "Cthulhu-Mythos" erschuf er eine ganze Welt, in der außerirdische Wesen, vor Urzeiten auf unseren Planeten gelangt, gottgleich und quasi unsterblich herrschten. Die vorliegende Geschichte "Polaris" beschreibt einen Menschen, der aufgrund seiner Schlaflosigkeit nicht mehr zwischen Traum und Realität unterscheiden kann. Ein feines Exempel bester klassischer Horrorliteratur in der Tradition Edgar Allan Poes!
