REANIMATOR by H.P. Lovecraft | #MidnightInTheMacabre
The story was written as a serial, published one chapter at a time from October 1921 to June 1922 in the amateur publication Home Brew. And because it was written during this time, you will hear language not considered politically correct today – particularly that of words used to describe people of color.

INVARIANT: The Man Who Never Aged | #MidnightInTheMacabre
