The Whisperer in Darkness by H.P. Lovecraft is a spine-chilling journey into cosmic horror and ancient alien terror. When Miskatonic University professor Albert Wilmarth begins corresponding with a recluse named Henry Akeley, he is pulled into a web of half-buried truths, forbidden knowledge, and interstellar beings who whisper of dark alliances and otherworldly technology.
