Novel by H. P. Lovecraft

The story follows Albert Wilmarth, a professor at Arkham University, who becomes embroiled in a mystery involving strange occurrences in rural Vermont. He is contacted by Henry Akeley, a farmer who claims to have discovered evidence of extraterrestrial beings, known as the Mi-Go, who inhabit the hills and are involved in bizarre activities, including mining a mysterious metal.

Akeley claims to have evidence of extraterrestrial beings and their human allies. As the correspondence unfolds, Wilmarth's skepticism transforms into a mix of panic and enthusiasm, leading him to visit Akeley, who appears to be hiding critical information.

Akeley's increasingly erratic behavior and unsettling revelations about these beings lead Wilmarth to confront terrifying truths about the universe and humanity's place within it

H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.
