Silence is a lie. The hunger of the past is always waiting.

After the untimely death of his only son, Delapore, an American heir, resolves to restore his ancestral seat: the sprawling, ruined Exham Priory in England. A place shunned and feared by the surrounding villagers for centuries, the Priory is steeped in legends of blood, madness, and unspeakable acts performed by Delapore's ancestors.

As he meticulously restores the crumbling structure, Delapore begins to be tormented by a sound that defies logic and engineering: the soft, continuous, sickening scurrying of rats behind the walls. The noise grows in volume and intensity, even as the walls prove solid and empty. Driven by curiosity and deepening mania, Delapore eventually discovers the horrifying source of the sounds--a vast, hidden crypt deep beneath the foundation.

What he uncovers there is the ultimate secret of the Delapore family: a monstrous, multi-generational cult of cannibalism, kept alive by generations of depraved ancestors and a terrifyingly efficient mechanism for butchering humans. The "rats" are not rodents, but the degenerate, devolved descendants of his family, waiting to feed.

H. P. Lovecraft's chilling masterwork is a visceral, deeply psychological tale that merges atmospheric gothic horror with the most gruesome elements of the Cthulhu Mythos. The Rats in the Walls is a disturbing exploration of inherited madness, ancestral guilt, and the thin barrier between civilization and a primal, endless hunger.
