I found this short story on the Gutenberg.org website and decided to read it. In the past, I've read a story in a collection and The Call of Cthulhu. One I wasn't fond of, and the other one I really enjoyed. I was curious to see where this one fell.
A barren valley is being surveyed before being flooded. It has an eerie history, and the story behind it involves a meteorite falling onto a farmer's land. It doesn't take long before there is evidence of strange things going on, and a family experiences the deterioration of their lives.
I'm not going to say much more about this one. It's a short story after all, and I try not to spoil things. This story definitely fell on the good side for me. It was tense and spooky, and I was invested in what would happen. I loved the imagination Lovecraft injected into this story. It was written in 1927, and I'm not sure it was appreciated at that time. I don't even know what kind of exposure it gets now, but I'm sure it's not enough. Good Story!
