by H.P. Lovecraft
A wealthy American reconstructs his ancestral home in Britain and explores his family's rumored dark history.Spectral hoards of rats, an ageless Stygian mystery and madness.....a Lovecraft classic.4 STARS
Lovecraft never gives me the satisfaction of expressing any feeling of distress or fear. Unlike Poe's short stories, I find Lovecraft's craft kind of dull. It is true that this short story has substance, but it lacks several traits that would make me stop yawning while reading it.
