The Whisperer in Darkness: A Classic Tale of Lovecraftian Horror and Alien Encounters
What if your closest ally wasn't human-and never had been?

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.

At first skeptical, Wilmarth's descent into the isolated hills of Vermont reveals a truth more horrifying than he could have ever imagined: humanity is not alone, and its place in the universe is fragile at best.

About the Author

About The Author

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937), commonly known as H. P. Lovecraft, was an American author known for his works of horror fiction (many of which have been adapted into movies). Having died in obscure poverty, he achieved posthumous fame for his books and stories. Today, he is best known for his take on The Call of Cthulhu. Because of his influence on contemporary writers and the development of his unique style known as "Lovecraftian," he is often compared to Edgar Allan Poe.
