Lovecraftis a psychological horror book first published in 1937 United States.Be inspired and moved by prose written in times long gone. Classic works of literature have memorable characters and offer profound and eternal reflections about the human condition.Sneak PeakWhat I heard in my youth about the shunned house was merely that people died there in alarmingly great numbers. That, I was told, was why the original owners had moved out some twenty years after building the place. It was plainly unhealthy, perhaps because of the dampness and fungous growths in the cellar, the general sickish smell, the drafts of the hallways, or the quality of the well and pump water. These things were bad enough, and these were all that gained belief among the persons whom I knew. Only the notebooks of my antiquarian uncle, Doctor Elihu Whipple, revealed to me at length the darker, vaguer surmises which formed an undercurrent of folklore among old-time servants and humble folk; surmises which never travelled far, and which were largely forgotten when Providence grew to be a metropolis with a shifting modern population.SynopsisA posthumous story of immense power, written by a master of weird fiction—a tale of a revolting horror in the cellar of an old house in New England! The narrator and his uncle, Dr. Elihu Whipple, have been fascinated by an old abandoned house on Benefit Street for many years. Dr. Whipple has kept meticulous records of the mysterious, yet apparently coincidental, illness and death of numerous residents of the house over the last century. Additionally, they are perplexed by the strange weeds growing in the yard, as well as an unexplained foul odor and whitish phosphorescent fungi growing in the cellar. The narrator discovers a strange yellowish vapor in the basement, which appears to be accompanied by a moldy outline of a huddled human form on the floor. The narrator and his uncle decide to spend the night in the house, looking for signs of a supernatural force. They erect cots and chairs in the cellar, arm themselves with military flamethrowers, and outfit a modified Crookes tube in the hope of annihilating any supernatural presence they may encounter.This edition of The Shunned House by H.P.
