Ep. 28 "The House of the Worm" by Mearle Prout
Manage episode 412381330 series 3442666
Two friends embark on what was to be an innocent hunting trip, but which soon leads to decay, degredation, and a chilling secret that gnaws at the heart of the world.
This somewhat obscure story, first published in 1933, contains many intriguing parallels and haunting echoes of what was then developing into the Cthulhu mythos, without necessarily being a part of that shared dream-space. A second cousin perhaps, lost, but never entirely forgotten.
