Excepcional recreación del relato tradicional de fantasmas. Lovecraft demuestra su grandeza y versatilidad con esta obra, una de las más destacadas de terror gótico clásico del siglo XX. La historia es realmente entretenida y terrorífica. Acompañe al narrador y recorra las letras de este fascinante libro a través de sus páginas mientras LEE o ESCUCHA (se recomienda usar los audífonos). 'En la cripta'' es uno de los relatos más conocidos de Lovecraft. Rechazado por varias publicaciones de la época, debido a su alto contenido macabro. El relato nos cuenta la historia de un sepulturero, prosaico y vulgar, quien no duda en maltratar a sus fríos inquilinos, proporcionándoles ataúdes de cuestionable solidez. El infame desdichado quedará encerrado dentro de una cripta, donde descubrirá que ciertas personas no olvidan los agravios, incluso cuando ya han abandonado el mundo de los vivos. Es momento de colocarse los audífonos, encerrarse en la alcoba y apagar todas las luces para disfrutar de esta increíble y terrorífica historia.
