![]() It is the quintessential horror story, it is as good as it gets for insidious, nasty narratives about the worst of humanities failings and the thoughts of a disturbed mind. If you want to know how to get under their skin, to make them feel the itch they can not scratch, study this tale. ![]() If you want to send chills down the spines or your readers. If, as a writer, you want to write horror. So let me get this out of the way first, no matter what else I say, I love ‘ The Rats In The Walls‘, it is a masterpiece of the grotesque, the disturbing and the chilling. So with that in mind, I can not claim to be entirely unbias on this one… It remains the tale I am most likely to recommend as a starting point to anyone who has never read the old tentacle huggers macabre scribblings. I always have, and will always, looked upon it fondly, for all its flaws. The first Lovecraft story I ever read was ‘ The Rats In The Walls’. ![]()
