The Whisperer in Darkness

Mysterious floods and sightings of strange, inhuman shapes in the hills of Vermont spark the curiosity of scholar Albert N. Wilmarth. Dismissing the rumors as mere superstition, he begins exchanging letters with Henry Akeley, a reclusive man who claims to have proof of an ancient, alien presence hidden in the wilderness. But when Akeley suddenly urges him to visit in person, Wilmarth discovers a truth more terrifying than he ever imagined.
