About this listen
“It is not reassuring to be told that the things we now call myths were once realities.”
When strange, non-human bodies wash up during a historic Vermont flood, folklorist Albert Wilmarth dismisses the local legends of hill-dwelling monsters—but his sceptisism is shaken when he receives a message from a recluse named Henry Akeley, who claims the creatures are real and are menacing his isolated farmhouse.
When Wilmarth gets to the house—lured by the promise of incredible revelations—he hears disturbing noises coming from the darkness and makes a gruesome discovery… the whispering is not of this world, and Akeley's fate is more horrific than Wilmarth could have ever imagined.
Though virtually unknown and financially unsuccessful during his lifetime, H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) is now regarded as one of the most influential 20th-century writers of supernatural horror fiction. Widely credited with inventing the “cosmic horror” genre—fiction that explores humanity’s insignificance in the face of vast, unknowable cosmic forces—he also created the “Cthulhu Mythos”, a shared universe of ancient alien beings and forbidden knowledge that has influenced generations of horror and science fiction writers.
