A young man and his uncle have spent years fascinated by an abandoned house. For over a century, numerous inhabitants of the house have fallen sick and died, but no apparent explanation can be found. Strange weeds found no where else grow in the yard, and an unexplained smell emanates from the house. In the cellar, a sickly whitish phosphorescent fungi grows in the form of a human body. When they decide to spend the night there, the mystery of the shunned house becomes even more intriguing...
Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction, especially the subgenre known as weird fiction. As early as the 1940s, Lovecraft's work had developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fiction featuring a pantheon of humanity-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. Stephen King called Lovecraft "the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale."
