A man touring Mammoth Cave separates from his guide and becomes lost. His torch expires and he is giving up hope of finding a way out in the pitch dark, when he hears strange non-human footsteps approaching him.

So, another boring short story from HP Lovecraft so fucking sad to see this happening. And that things which I’m talking about is that I don’t find myself enjoy most of his short stories. I’ve noticed that late last year I became very picky and it still is around.

However, its quite enjoyable and you will have fun time reading this one but nothing more than this. That’s at least how I felt about this short story.

The writing style here was pretty decent but again it could have been better than it actually was.

The scary part wasn’t existing in this short story for me which is really sad if you ask me. Because I want to feel scared and I want to enjoy his work more than I actually do.

I give this short story 1 / 5
