However, during the night, a strange incident in the guest room will change the course of his stay.

Theodore Sturgeon: It

“It” is a short story by American writer Theodore Sturgeon, published in August 1940 in the magazine Unknown. When Kimbo, his hunting dog, doesn’t answer his calls, Alton Drew grows concerned. It is unusual for the animal to disappear; therefore, even though it is already night, he decides to venture into the woods with his rifle to look for him. What Alton doesn’t know is that Kimbo has had a brutal encounter with a mysterious creature born of dampness, decay, and darkness, which roams the forest driven by a curiosity as blind as it is monstrous.
