When Sam Havisham notices the details of a wall in his home for the first time he unknowingly opens himself to a whole new world of mind breaking horrors, drawing the attention of a malign entity from beyond the stars. Can he fend off the influence of this eldritch being? Or will he succumb to its dreadful whispers?
The Wall is the second story in the series ‘The Roots Grow into the Earth,’ a collection of short cosmic horror stories.
This one again had me mesmerised from the first page and I found Sam's internal monlogues quite relatable. The story had you feeling a sense of unease early on and it's one of those books that leaves you a little emotional at the end. One of those stories that you finish but then sit there for a while longer reflecting on what just happened.
