The Lurking Fear

The name of Howard Phillips Lovecraft echoed around the world as the benchmark of horror literature. Gifted in the art of refined words, he wrote about terrible shadows in the corner—and about what is inaccessible to ordinary mortals, but available only to the chosen. His contemporaries and today’s heroes of horror stories pay tribute to Lovecraft’s tales. “The Hidden Horror” is one of Howard Phillips Lovecraft’s finest stories—one that helped make him the great and mighty ruler of the genre.
