The Lurking Fear

H.P. Lovecraft

3.55 AVERAGE


The mental images conjured up by Lovecraft’s prose are a hundred times more disturbing than any CGI laden film adaptation could ever hope for. The best (most frightening) horrors are the ones we don’t see.

A fairly short story that has multiple twists in, but knowing the tendencies of the author, are not that hard to guess would happen. The setup and pay off are enjoyable and fun to read.
