Der Flüsterer im Dunkeln by H.P. Lovecraft
5.0

I'm so creeped out right now that I jumped at the sight of one of our hallway posters through the half open kitchen door. I can't even explain why I'm so scared. Maybe it's because of the last few sentences. Maybe it's because of the eerie, unsettling atmosphere that stretches from start to finish. Maybe it's because thinking of how crazy Lovecraft must have been to imagine all these freaky, indescribable things. Or maybe it's the combined package of it all.

The Cthulu Mythos is so deeply interesting while also being one of the most terrifying things I've ever read. There's something very simple about the horror Lovecraft creates - while the stories are far from simple themselves. I can't explain the feelings they evoke in you. And that what makes Lovecraft's work so good.
