When strange bodies are found drifting in Vermont's flooded rivers—grotesque things that defy classification—folklore scholar Albert N. Wilmarth dismisses the wild rumors of alien creatures lurking in the hills. But when he begins corresponding with a reclusive local, Henry Akeley, he finds himself drawn into a terrifying web of cosmic horror. As he journeys to Akeley's remote farmhouse, Wilmarth uncovers a truth far more sinister than he ever imagined—one that challenges the very limits of human understanding.

A cornerstone of the Cthulhu Mythos, "The Whisperer in Darkness" is a spine-chilling tale of extraterrestrial horror, secret conspiracies, and the unfathomable terrors lurking beyond the veil of reality.
