Summary

The Intruder is a story of the dandy Tullio Hermil, unfaithful to his patient and loving wife, Giuliana. Tullio is a Nietzschean superman. He is handsome, intelligent, and powerful. Also, he believes himself to be superior to other men and beyond the reach of their judgment. Therefore, he ignores the feelings of others, not to mention his own wife. Yet, at some point, growing weary of his debauchery, Tullio decides to attempt a reconciliation with his wife. Giuliana is patient and loving and forgives his husband's sins. In a single weak moment, Juliana has succumbed to another man's advances and has gotten pregnant. As Tullio learns about that, he gets furious. When the baby (the Intruder) is born, Tullio starts thinking of a horrible crime. Yet, he must find the courage to commit it.

    The existence of demons is woven into the fabric of the natural world, serving a dark yet necessary purpose. They are the whispers in the dark that keep humanity in line. Yet in most cases, those who are hunted never see the demon before he is at their throat. 
But there are sacred rules to the hunt. For each group targeted, one must survive. Marked by the demon and gifted with an amulet, they are immune to him and he is powerless to stop them. A single wound from them would be fatal. He is a monster to humanity, but these select humans are monsters to him. 
Yet, a weakness from years past is haunting him. Despite years of successful hunts, as this hunt approaches—something is different. Is he still the hunter or has he become the hunted?

    The Whisperer in Darkness is a 26,000-word novella by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written February–September 1930, it was first published in Weird Tales, August 1931.[1] Similar to The Colour Out of Space (1927), it is a blend of horror and science fiction. Although it makes numerous references to the Cthulhu Mythos, the story is not a central part of the mythos, but reflects a shift in Lovecraft's writing at this time towards science fiction. The story also introduces the Mi-Go, an extraterrestrial race of fungoid creatures.
