The last book that i read was...

The last book that I read was “The Shadow Over Innsmouth” by H.P. Lovecraft. In this book the government raids the bay harbor town known as Innsmouth and take people who are members of a satanic cult. A journalist travels to the bay harbor town to investigate. He wants to know about the strange myths and stories that surround the place.
He arrives to the town and sees a desolator landscape. Empty streets, closed windows, a smell in the air like a rotten fish, and a few people who have the aspect also known as “The Innsmouth look”. The people have big eyes like a frog, pale blue skin, unusual size of body parts, etc.
He learns from a local drunk man a story about weird things swimming across the sea in the nights. The things kidnap citizens of Innsmouth and take them to a reef known as The Devil`s Reef.
The journalist is forced to stay in a hotel the rest of the night because the bus is no longer available until the next morning.
At night, the journalist hears steps and growls outside his room. He knows that the things are going to kill him, so he escapes by jumping out the window.
With all the fear of the world and scariest as hell, he escapes during night avoiding contact with the things.
Finally he arrives home safe and sound. But later he begins to feel sick and see something awful in the mirror! He is evolving into “The Innsmouth Look”!
At the end he realizes that he has the legacy of Innsmouth in his veins… He is one of the weird things that swim across the sea.
