"The Lurking Fear" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft in the horror fiction genre. Written in November 1922, it was first published in the January through April 1923 issues of Home Brew.
The narrator, hearing tales of a "lurking fear" upon Tempest Mountain, takes two men with him to investigate. They camp inside the deserted Martense Mansion as a lightning storm approaches, and feeling strangely drowsy, they all fall alseep. The narrator wakes up to find both his companions missing, and in a flash of lightning sees a demonic shadow cast upon the fireplace chimney as well as a grotesque monster by his side.

I don't remember this story...maybe it is time to read the Necronomicon again really love the perspective on the left hand the right one seems a bit strange...or is it just me
I like the narrated version by WAYNE JUNE, on my ipod. Dead creepy. I wanted to give an out-worldly look to the creatures, and wanted to give them a twisted feel.
OMG you are right, audio books I completely forgot, Now I have to find creepy tales by creepy people...I am so sad Vincent Price is long gone, imagine audio books by him I gotta find his radio series lulls me to sleep in a jiffy
