10 Weirdest Lovecraft Stories Every Horror Fan Should Read

A wholly unique entry within the breadth of Lovecraftian stories, The Whisperer In The Darkness contains all of the familiarity you come to expect from the author coupled with an injection of the 'cyber-horror' that comes from human integration of alien technology.

After a literature professor by the name of Albert Wilmarth from the famous Miskatonic University receives a letter from the reclusive Henry Akeley with stories claiming to corroborate a recent string of news reports that tell of unidentified creatures floating in a Vermont river after a small flood, he resolves to put his doubt aside and interview Akeley about what he has found. What follows is an unrelentingly creepy conversation between Wilmarth and a man enshrouded in shadow, communicating through nigh inhuman whispers that takes up the bulk of the story and culminating in such a way that you almost wish you didn't see it coming.

Unlike anything that came before it, The Whisperer offers up a different perspective on the extraterrestrial invasion, depicting a quieter, more subtle undertaking that starkly contrasts against the likes of H.G. Wells' The War Of The Worlds. Just remember this bit of advice - be careful not to lose your mind...
