However, soon the lives of the farming community begin to change - slowly and mercilessly. Initially it seems that the meteor has not caused any major damage. A meteorite strikes a farm in the middle of nowhere. While scientists were never able to tell what (or who) the meteor contained, its effects were undeniable-the entire Gardner family was struck by insanity, illness, and worse, whilst the land around them was slowly drained of life.'Īvailable a a single MP3 file or 3-Part MP3 or OGG files. The Colour Out of Space - Illustrated Adaption by Andreas Hartung What (is it) One night a strange event occurs. It was metallic and contained a substance of an indescribable color that proved toxic. Then, one afternoon in June 1882, a large meteorite crashed into the farm, beside the well. In the early 1880s, the farm had been productive, run by a Nahum Gardner and his family. He learns of an elderly hermit, Ammi Pierce, and asks him about the 'blasted heath'. When he returns to Arkham, the surveyor asks around for information regarding the waste. The site fills him with an unnatural sense of dread, and he hurries past it. At the centre of the farmstead is an old well. He comes across a mysterious patch of land, an abandoned 5-acre (20,000 m2) farmstead, which is completely devoid of all life. In order to prepare for the construction of a new reservoir in Massachusetts, he surveys a rural area that is to be flooded near Lovecraft's fictional town of Arkham. 'The Colour Out of Space' is a first-person narrative written from the perspective of an unnamed surveyor from Boston. Lovecraft's short story, 'The Colour Out Of Space', published in Amazing Stories in September 1927, making it a Public Domain work in Europe.
