Colour out of Space is my favorite Lovecraft's piece (and it may be my favorite horror fiction at all), and I'm rereading it right now and it's so good damn.
The mysterious meteorite, weird impossible colors, luminosity, and that fucking well!
Lovecraft just went out of his way to make this as weird and scary as possible, with subtlety going out the window after the first few pages, and it works so well (hehe…) for the story.

The Colour out of Space (1927)
By H.P. Lovecraft
A meteorite crashes on a farmer’s land.
Strange things start happening to the crops and the family living at the nearby farm.
It’s one of Lovecraft’s best stories. It’s unsettling, weird, mysterious and quite horrific for that family and its animals.
