by H.P. Lovecraft

Passing through Innsmouth on a genealogical tour of New England, a young man makes an ill-advised attempt to unravel the town s long-veiled history. What unfolds is a terrifying tale of a town transformed by its interaction with a monstrous aquatic civilization. As Innsmouth s murky history is brought to light, the narrator learns that the town s mysterious past is tied to his own family history. It is a revelation that has chilling consequences for the present and for the future."
