H.P. Lovecraft 
The Whisperer in The Darkness 

‚The Whisperer in Darkness‘ is a novella by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written February–September 1930, it was first published in Weird Tales, August 1931.[1] 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.
