Racconti brevi
When a family tree sprouts in the wrong soil, the fruits of its ancestry are monstrous.
The Jermyn family has always been known for its eccentricities, particularly a persistent, unnerving physical strangeness—a quality that grows more pronounced with each generation. The current heir, Sir Arthur Jermyn, is a brilliant but sensitive young man obsessed with tracing his family's long, tangled line back to its source.
Arthur's research takes him on a dizzying journey through centuries of rumor, madness, and whispers of a scandalous, impossible union. He uncovers the tale of his great-great-great grandfather, a 17th-century explorer who ventured into the deepest Congo and returned with a magnificent, otherworldly "white gorilla wife."
However, when a taxidermied relic from that dark expedition finally arrives at the Jermyn estate, Arthur discovers the horrifying, ultimate truth of his lineage. The monstrous reality behind his family's appearance is not merely an unspeakable liaison, but a grotesque, primal kinship that shatters his sanity.
H. P. Lovecraft delivers one of his most deeply unsettling stories of hereditary horror and degeneration. "Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family" is a terrifying meditation on the fear of what we are, and the grotesque, subhuman secrets that bloodlines can carry from the darkest corners of the world.
