A story about cosmic horror, forbidden knowledge, and the insignificance of humanity in the face of ancient, powerful entities as lovecraft writes one of his best works with his customary themes. The story delves into the idea that some truths are better left undiscovered, as they can drive individuals to madness. Hope yall enjoy this, I love horror lit myself.

Yeah I wasn't very clear. I guess Herbert West is the uncommon name, esp without mentioning the Reanimator.
