In this latest of HP Lovecraft tales in my collection, The Colour Out of Space is a yarn is weaved about a meteorite crashing into a valley and corrupting the bodies and minds of all organic life in the vicinity. Researchers from nearby Arkham (yes, that's where we get the concept of Arkham Asylum, DC fans) investigate the strange meteorite, but find it not adhering to physics of this world.

Without giving too much away, this is a great story due to its presentation. Lovecraft employs a narration which lends to believability of these audacious events. The reader must hope he is not next...
