The whisperer In Darkness
By H.P. Lovecraft

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

The Whisperer in Darkness is a 26,000-word novella by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written February–September 1930, it was first published in Weird Tales, August 1931. Similar to The Colour Out of Space (1927), it is a blend of horror and science fiction. Although it makes numerous references to the Cthulhu Mythos, the story is not a central part of the mythos, but reflects a shift in Lovecraft's writing at this time towards science fiction. The story also introduces the Mi-go, an extraterrestrial race of fungoid creatures.

I really got into this story! He has a way of making you actually question whether there is life out there like that! Then you finish the book and realise it was just that a story! Told by a man with such an amazing imagination! I don’t know why I waited so long to read these!

In case anyone missed me reviewing each and every album of Rolling Stone's 2012 Greatest 500 Albums of All Time and spamming your feeds ... how?!
Well, I did it, from April 2020 to early July 2020 and discovered some new favourites (Funkadelic, Modern Lovers) and rediscovered some old loves (Elvis Costello, Radiohead). I loved it, and it saw me through the final unpleasant stages of losing my job, before I instead wrote a book (as yet un-edited and getting dusty) and got another job.
Sadly, in September, RS released a completely new list. Not like the 2012 list, which was just a minor shuffling of the 2003 one. This is a complete re-think. Luckily, some kindred spirit out there has compiled a spreadsheet comparing the three lists and it is very different.
Anyway, I am starting again with the new list and might just discover some more new loves (maybe some albums released post-2006!).
So you have been warned! Un-follow now, or face a certain spamming.
