Howard Phillips Lovecraft

Le narrateur, descendant d'une respectable lignée virginienne, rachète le siège historique de sa famille, situé en Angleterre, d'où un de ses ancêtres s'était enfui dans des circonstances mystérieuses. Il décide de faire restaurer l'ancien édifice, qui a dans la région une réputation maléique... H. P. Lovecraft, le fondateur du mythe de Cthulhu, déploie ici tout son art, où réalisme et détails concrets sous-tendent les suggestions d'abominations indicibles.

The Rats in the Walls

Scott Wilks

Rating All 19 Lovecraft Stories Within the Necronomicon (Audible Audio Book) ~ Part 4 - The Rats in the Walls.

A classic tale of madness in which Lovecraft was inspired to write by the "cracking of wall-paper late at night, and the chain of imaginings resulting from it."

We follow Alfred Delapore's mental and physical descent into deep depths hitherto unventured. This novella is a great gateway into the Lovecraftian universe, recommended!

H. P. Lovecraft

The Rats in the Walls is perhaps Lovecraft's most powerful tales. The story follows Delapore as he discovers his heritage and begins a slow, terrifying descent into madness. When he reclaims his familial home which is in ruins and decides to restore it, he has no idea of the horrors he will unleash; secretes better left undisturbed. One of the finest stories of Lovecraft's entire career. -Lin Carter

This early work by H. P. Lovecraft was originally published in 1924. Born in 1890 in Rhode Island, USA, Lovecraft began writing at a very young age, quickly developing a deep and abiding interest in science. In 1913, Lovecraft joined the UAPA (United Amateur Press Association) but it was four years later, in 1917, that he began to focus on fiction, producing such well-known early stories as 'Dagon' and 'A Reminiscence of Dr. Samuel Johnson'. However, it was during the last decade of his life that Lovecraft produced his most notable works, such as 'the Dunwich Horror' and 'The Call of Cthulhu' which subsequently earned him his place as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th century. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions.
