Manage episode 449785303 series 2846987
Live Drama - H.P. Lovecraft’s The Rats in the Walls is one of his most acclaimed and chilling tales, first published in 1924 in Weird Tales magazine. The story follows Delapore, an American who moves to England to restore his ancestral estate, Exham Priory, a medieval mansion that has fallen into disrepair. As Delapore settles in, he begins hearing disturbing sounds—the incessant scurrying of rats behind the walls. Driven by these noises, he uncovers a horrifying secret about his family’s dark history and the ancient, malevolent forces lurking beneath the mansion.
The story is celebrated for its Gothic atmosphere and slow-building horror, expertly blending psychological dread with supernatural elements. Lovecraft uses themes of inherited guilt and the concept of ancient evil to explore how the past haunts the present.
