The Whisperer in Darkness

Strange beings haunt the lonely hills of Vermont, and the truth behind them reaches far beyond Earth. After devastating floods uncover bizarre bodies in rural Vermont, folklore scholar Albert N. Wilmarth dismisses stories of monstrous creatures as remnants of local superstition. Then he begins corresponding with Henry Akeley, an isolated farmer who insists that the old legends are true. Photographs, recordings, and increasingly desperate letters provide disturbing evidence of beings moving through the mountains and watching Akeley's secluded home.As the evidence accumulates, Wilmarth's skepticism begins to collapse. Then Akeley's letters abruptly change in tone, and he invites Wilmarth to Vermont to see the truth for himself. What awaits him in the darkened farmhouse leads to a terrifying revelation involving alien intelligence, forbidden knowledge, and a technology capable of carrying the human mind into places unimaginably distant from Earth.Part of the interconnected world that became known as the Cthulhu Mythos, The Whisperer in Darkness combines the cosmic dread of The Call of Cthulhu and The Dunwich Horror with science fiction, rural isolation, and mounting psychological terror. It is one of H. P. Lovecraft's central works of cosmic horror and a powerful expression of his vision of humanity confronting an ancient and indifferent universe.Explore other exciting titles from Positronic Publishing
