‘Medusa’s Coil’ is a short story written by H.P. Lovecraft, an American writer best known for his works of horror fiction. It was written in collaboration with Zealia Bishop, and first published in 1939, after Lovecraft’s death.
The story revolves around a man named George Bennett, who moves to a remote town in Virginia called Innsmouth. There, he becomes involved with a mysterious woman named Keziah Mason and her family. As Bennett delves deeper into the secrets of the Masons, he uncovers horrifying truths about their dark rituals and connections to ancient, otherworldly entities.
‘Medusa’s Coil’ is notable for its themes of forbidden knowledge, cosmic horror, and the blending of Lovecraftian mythology with elements of Southern Gothic literature. It’s considered one of Lovecraft’s lesser-known works but still showcases his skill in crafting atmospheric and unsettling tales that linger in the minds of readers.
