  The Colour Out of Space -...

  The Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft - In 1927 Amazing Stories had this to say about The Colour Out of Space, "We could wax rhapsodical in our praise, as the story is one of the finest pieces of literature it has been our good fortune to read. The theme is original, and yet fantastic enough to make it rise head and shoulders above many contemporary scientifiction stories. You will not regret having read this marvelous tale." 
  H. P. Lovecraft’s The Colour Out of Space is a cosmic horror story about an incomprehensible alien presence. The tale is told by a surveyor investigating the desolate “blasted heath” near Arkham, Massachusetts, where a meteorite crashed years earlier. The rock released an unnatural, indescribable color, which seeped into the land, contaminating water, plants, animals, and even humans. The Gardner family, living on the affected farm, suffers horrifying transformations—plants grow wildly but inedibly, animals mutate or go mad, and family members succumb to madness and decay. Eventually, the strange color dissipates into the sky, leaving only desolation behind. The story is a chilling depiction of an alien force beyond human understanding and one of Lovecraft’s most influential works. 
  Howard Phillips Lovecraft was known for pioneering cosmic horror—a genre emphasizing the insignificance of humanity in an indifferent universe. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Lovecraft was a sickly and reclusive child, heavily influenced by classical literature, science, and the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Lord Dunsany. 
  Despite financial struggles and limited literary success during his lifetime, Lovecraft created the Cthulhu Mythos. His most famous works include The Call of Cthulhu, At the Mountains of Madness, and The Shadow over Innsmouth. 
  Though he died in poverty at age 46, his work gained widespread recognition posthumously, shaping modern horror fiction and pop culture.

  African Americans and the...

  The American Revolution is replete with seminal moments that every American learns in school, from the “shot heard ‘round the world” to the Declaration of Independence, but the events that led up to the fighting at Lexington & Concord were borne out of 10 years of division between the British and their American colonies over everything from colonial representation in governments to taxation, the nature of searches, and the quartering of British regulars in private houses. From 1764-1775, a chain of events that included lightning rods like the Townshend Acts led to bloodshed in the form of the Boston Massacre, while the Boston Tea Party became a symbol of nonviolent protest.  
  	The political and military nature of the Revolutionary War was just as full of intrigue. While disorganized militias fought the Battles of Lexington & Concord, George Washington would lead the Continental Army in the field while men like Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia and Benjamin Franklin negotiated overseas in France. Benedict Arnold would become one of his nation’s most vital war heroes and its most notorious traitor, French forces would play a crucial role at the end of the war, and the Treaty of Paris would conclude the Revolution with one last great surprise.  
  	Perhaps not surprisingly, the Revolution was far more complex than often depicted, both demographically and politically. Not all the British colonies in North America joined the rebel colonies - East and West Florida remained British (although Britain almost lost both to Spain), while the Bahamas, Bermuda, and the Caribbean colonies remained in the empire. The colonies in what is now Canada also remained loyal, namely Quebec, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Rupert’s Land.
