    "The Lurking Fear" is a horror short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written in November 1922, it was first published in the January through April 1923 issues of Home Brew. The story is narrated by an unnamed seeker of "strange horrors" who is investigating the massacre of a community of some six dozen backwoods degenerates in an obscure region of the Catskills, a massacre which occurred during a particularly violent electrical storm and seems to have been perpetrated by an unidentified clawed beast. The narrator soon discovers that the most sinister legends of the region center around the abandoned Martense mansion, and he decides—together with two companions—to spend the night in the big old house. And thus our lengthy, four-part tale begins.

The real challenge comes in the aftermath, when you're forced to face everything you lost in order to survive.

To dethrone a man that already survived death at their hands once? 
 
 
 
I'm no one's salvation, I'm their ruin. 
 
 
 
All that I inspire in these men is the desire to throw what remains of their souls onto the pyre, forcing me to helplessly watch as all of our lives go up in flames. Maybe they're just as broken as I am, but the one thing I'm certain of? Either we come together, or we'll be ripped apart; in every sense of the words. 
 
 
 
I have no idea what to expect when we get to murder mountain, but the silver lining that comes from being broken? I get to construct someone new out of the pieces. The monster prowling beneath my flesh isn't afraid to reduce anyone who'd dare take what's ours to smoke and ash.
