  The Shunned House - The House...

  The Shunned House by H. P. Lovecraft - A man and his uncle set out to scientifically investigate a crumbling home steeped in centuries of death and decay. But as night falls, they confront a grotesque, unseen horror feeding on the living—a parasitic evil that may be older than the house itself. 
  The Shunned House was penned by H.P. Lovecraft in October 1924 but remained in the shadows until it was published 13 years later, just seven months after his passing! This haunting tale was published in Weird Tales magazine in October 1937. 
  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.
