🐀Rats in the Walls | 31 Nights of Lovecraft (Night 28) | Rain, Thunder Ambiance

Tonight we unseal the twenty-eighth vault in our 31 Nights of Lovecraft with one of his most chilling and enduring tales — The Rats in the Walls.

In this story, a man returns to his ancestral home, Exham Priory — a place whispered about for centuries and long left to decay. But the walls remember, and the blood remembers, and soon the rats begin to stir in the dark…

It’s a descent through heritage and horror — a story of madness, memory, and the hunger that hides beneath civilization’s skin. Written in 1923, this tale remains one of Lovecraft’s most haunting reflections on ancestry, guilt, and the inescapable weight of blood.
