The Rats in the Walls

What if your family home was built over a secret meant to stay buried forever?

In The Rats in the Walls, H.P. Lovecraft spins a tale of ancestral horror and crumbling sanity. When Delapore returns to England to reclaim his family's abandoned estate, Exham Priory, he is drawn to the strange history whispered in the nearby village. As he renovates the estate, he begins to hear the scratching and scurrying of unseen rats-sounds no one else can hear.

What he finds in the depths beneath the house will shake the very foundations of human decency, revealing the horrific practices that cursed his bloodline.
