Classico racconto, in chiave horror, su una casa infestata da strane e inquietanti presenze. Lo stile di scrittura è semplice ed elegante, tipico di Lovecraft. 
Lo suggerisco a chiunque sia interessato a una lettura horror breve e ben scritta.

Non meglio degli altri...anche se mi è piaciuto il fatto di cercare di dare una spiegazione scientifica a certi fenomeni, il resto è la solita tiritera...i letterati che indagano su un mistero, gente che muore liquefatta...non so, non mi convince mai.

The story is pretty good, with a nice buildup to the ending. It is one of the rare lovecraft stories with a good ending, or at the very least a clear ending, though the thing itself is still unclear on what it is. The slow burn was nice, bringing to a climactic ending.

Entretenido, en la línea de Lovecraft con toques de investigación, aunque el horror de esta historia me ha parecido muy suave. Como es corto, viene perfecto para pasar un rato, pero sin más.
