The Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft

When a strange meteorite lands near a rural farm, it brings with it an indescribable color—and a slow, horrifying corruption of the land, water, and living things. As the farm decays, the family suffers a grotesque fate tied to something entirely alien. This story exemplifies Lovecraft’s fear of the unknown and the inhuman. The Colour Out of Space is often considered one of his best works for its eerie, creeping dread. A terrifying tale of nature warped by a force beyond comprehension.
