  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.

  India, 1857 
   
  Meera’s future has been planned for her for as long as she can remember. As a child, her parents married her to a boy from a neighboring village. On the eve of her thirteenth birthday, she will leave her family to live with her husband. But that night, Indian soldiers mutiny against their  
  British commanders and destroy the ammunition depot, burning down parts of Delhi. Riots follow, and Meera’s husband is killed. Then Meera’s father insists that she follow the dictates of their fringe religious sect: she must end her life by throwing herself on her husband’s funeral pyre. 
   
  Risking everything, Meera runs away, escaping into the chaos of the rebellion. But her newfound freedom is short-lived, as she is forced to become a servant in the house of a British East India Company captain. Through her work, she gains confidence, new friends, new skills—and sometimes  
  her life even feels peaceful.  
   
  But one day, Meera stumbles upon the captain’s secret stock of ammunition, destined to be used by the British to continue controlling India’s citizens. 
   
  Will Meera do her part to take down the British colonists and alert the rebellion of the stockpile? Or will she stay safe and let others make decisions for her? It comes down to this: how much fire must a girl face to finally write her own destiny?
