A true horror connoisseur sooner or later turns to the classics of the genre.
Edgar Poe was one of the first to scare readers properly. The unnamed narrator, having received a letter from his youthful friend Roderick Usher, comes to his estate.
As he approaches the house, he notices an incredibly gloomy landscape: the Usher house itself, the lake on whose shore the house stands, reeds, tree skeletons. One day, Asher informs the narrator that his sister, Lady Madeline, has died and asks him to help him bring her body down to the dungeon for burial. The two of them take the body there, closing the coffin tightly and locking the heavy iron door. After that, Roderick Usher becomes more and more anxious, his anxiety and fear gradually transmitted or re-transmitted to the narrator. What more horror does the reader need?
Howard Lovecraft invented Cthulhu, Dagon, Yogi Sotah, and many other dark deities that have become so popular that hundreds of science fiction writers, including Neil Gaiman and Stephen King, are still expanding his mythology.
Each monster in the Lovecraftian world represents one of the countless facets of chaos. Whether they lurk in the depths of the ocean or lurk in the depths of impenetrable forests, sleep in Egyptian pyramids or walled up in mountain caves that have come to our planet from the stars or from the abyss of countless centuries, they are invariably hostile to humanity and beyond reason. And the only thing that remains for a person is to stay alert.
