When a meteorite crashes on a remote farm in the hills of Arkham, it brings something far worse than fire and ruin. The rock shrinks and crumbles, leaving behind a strange, shifting color—something unearthly, something alive. Over time, the land withers, the water turns foul, and the Gardner family, who tend the farm, begin to change in ways both terrifying and tragic. As the blight spreads, the few who dare to investigate realize too late that some forces cannot be understood, reasoned with, or stopped.
One of H. P. Lovecraft’s most chilling tales, The Colour Out of Space is a haunting exploration of cosmic horror and the limits of human comprehension. With its slow-building dread and eerie atmosphere, it remains one of the most unsettling works in weird fiction.

H.P. LOVECRAFT [1890-1937], born in Providence, Rhode Island, was an American writer known for his horror, fantasy, and science fiction stories. Both of Lovecraft's parents suffered from mental illness, which greatly influenced his youth. He began writing at an early age but had a limited readership during his lifetime. Today, Lovecraft is regarded as an icon of popular culture and is considered one of the most influential and innovative horror writers of the 20th century, often compared to Edgar Allan Poe.
