"The Shunned House" by H. P. Lovecraft is a horror novelette written in October 1924. Based on a real house in Providence, Rhode Island, the story follows a narrator and his uncle as they investigate mysterious deaths and illnesses plaguing residents for over a century. Strange fungi, foul odors, and yellowish vapors in the cellar hint at something monstrous beneath. Armed with flamethrowers and scientific equipment, they spend a night confronting an
ancient, supernatural evil lurking in the foundation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
