“The Rats in the Walls” is named Nigger Man.”
One of the truly terrifying tales written by Lovecraft, along with Dreams in the Witch House.
Back in 1962, I was reading Lovecraft in Carlsbad High School and one of the girls laughed at me for reading it. I then challenged her to read the first story, “TE RATS IN THE WALLS.” She did, and cussed me out good and said she could not sleep at night for hearing the “rats”.
Still got his books and read them often.
Pickman’s Model is good fun.
