The memories are there but the empty space, the void can never be refilled. It remains a dark, unreliable pit of loneliness. The sadness and often depression, the lack of will to continue may swamp us all. Unquenchable, undeniable. But loss can, after mourning, give the opportunity to reappraise the lost and how we can each move forward. In the literary world an accessible balance can be given.

What if horror didn’t crawl, speak, or breathe—but fell from the sky? The Colour Out of Space is not just a story; it’s a chilling descent into a nightmare beyond human understanding. When a strange meteorite crashes onto a quiet New England farm, it leaves behind something impossible to describe—an unnatural presence that seeps into the land, the animals, and the people who live there. Crops rot, livestock change, and the air itself feels wrong as an invisible force spreads with silent, relentless intent.

The narrator travels through the nearby decrepit seaport of Innsmouth which is suggested as a cheaper and potentially interesting next leg of his journey.
