Rats in the Walls
(Target Destroyed, 2024)
The Rats in the Walls is a chilling short story by H.P. Lovecraft, written in 1923. It tells the tale of Delapore, an Englishman who inherits an ancestral estate called Exham Priory. As Delapore restores the ancient castle, he becomes increasingly disturbed by eerie sounds and inexplicable occurrences within its dreary walls. As the suspense builds, Delapore's investigations lead him to uncover a horrifying secret lurking beneath the surface—a secret involving teeming hordes of maniacal rats and the dark and disturbing history of his own family!
The story is renowned for its atmospheric tension, psychological horror, and Lovecraft's skillful portrayal of madness and the unraveling of a character's sanity. It explores themes of ancestral curses, forbidden knowledge, and the unfathomable horrors that lie hidden in the depths of human history.
