The Rats in the Walls by Chris Trefz

I decided to try integrating more typography into this piece, by using one of my favorite quotes from author H.P. Lovecraft, from his story, "The Rats in the Wall".

Here's a quick synopsis for those not familiar: 

In H.P. Lovecraft's novella, a New England man returns to his ancestral home in 1920's England only to realize his family's cannibalistic history. Distraught by the revelation and driven insane by the scampering sounds of rats between the house walls, he commits an unthinkable act.

Also check out other great works by the author like, "The Call of Cthulhu" and "The Shadow Over Innsmouth".
