The lurking fear by H. P. Lovecraft
"The Lurking Fear" by H. P. Lovecraft is a horror short story written in November 1922. After a devastating storm leaves an entire mountain community destroyed with no survivors, a monster-hunter travels to the remote Catskills to investigate reports of mysterious creatures. His search leads him to the abandoned Martense mansion, where a once-prominent Dutch family vanished generations ago under disturbing circumstances. As thunderstorms roll in and companions disappear, he uncovers a
horrifying secret lurking beneath the mountain itself. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
