Except for 'The Rats in the Walls' and that other story with the invisible giant in the barn by Lovecraft, I don't really like much of the stories in the Cthulhu Mythos. This story is set in that.

I speculate that this could have been an inspiration for True Detective Season One. I don't know. Maybe if I read this when I was younger.
