That’s more of a problem than usual when it comes to Lovecraft’s 1927 story “The Colour Out of Space,” in which a remote corner of New England becomes deadly and strange after a meteorite crashes on an unfortunate farm. His stories walk readers up to the cliff of an abyss, then insist they take the last steps themselves - an approach that generally works better on the page than on the screen. Much of Lovecraft’s fiction involves compiling the details surrounding some awful happening, or some madness-provoking creature, without staring either directly in the face. Lovecraft is that at some point, you have to depict the indescribable. ![]()
