Το Χρώμα που Ήρθε από το Διάστημα (PB)

An anonymous surveyor from Boston finds himself on the outskirts of Arkham for the construction of a new dam. The area has an ominous feeling that unsettles him. His unease grows even more when a solitary old man begins to speak to him about the "strange days" and the "ashen wasteland."

A model of atmospheric writing or “quiet prose,” The Colour Out of Space marks the beginning of H. P. Lovecraft’s mature literary period.

Here, the harbinger of destruction is not a malicious supernatural hunter. The deadly “color” does not compete with humans. It cancels out their existence simply by its presence.
