In H. P. Lovecraft’s chilling tale, The Lurking Fear, a mysterious terror grips the secluded Catskill Mountains. Driven by curiosity, an investigator ventures into the heart of this eerie landscape, where a monstrous presence is rumored to haunt the region. As he uncovers a dark legacy entwined with the locals, he confronts unimaginable horrors lurking in the shadows.

Lovecraft was born in 1890 in Providence, Rhode Island. He was a prodigious but sickly youth. At 14, he contemplated suicide when his grandfather died, leaving him and his mother almost penniless. He began to write poetry, and a series of literary spats in a newspaper brought him attention and the beginnings of a career. But until the last decade of his life, the works of which we are so well aware did not arrive. That last decade was prolific, but with little income, his life downgraded from one rented house to another.

This horror story takes place on Tempest Mountain in the Catskills, around an old abandoned Dutch mansion of the Martense family. The narrator’s every effort to solve the mystery leads to the death or disappearance of his companions. Finally he discovers that the family had mutated into murderous monsters through centuries of inbreeding.

The lurking fear dwelt in the shunned and deserted Martense mansion, which crowned the high but gradual eminence whose liability to frequent thunderstorms gave it the name of Tempest Mountain. For over a hundred years the antique, grove-circled stone house had been the subject of stories incredibly wild and monstrously hideous; stories of a silent colossal creeping death which stalked abroad in summer. It seemed the stories might have been true when myself and a horde of reporters descended on the Catskills to follow up a rumour that an entire village had sunk into the earth.

His semi-invalidism enabled him to read omnivorously, and as a shy imaginative child he began to invent what would in his adult life become a whole macabre fantastic world of his own, peopled by creatures out of his own weird imagination.
