Story Craft: That which goes bump in the night.

 
Well I am back after a busier than normal week. We are going to kick things off with another entry in Story Craft. This time what we are looking at is best described as an eldritch horror. This includes monsters that the player/reader never see but yet instills a sense of terror that drives characters within the tale to the brink of insanity. We will be looking at a few examples of such creatures along with why these make interesting antagonists in stories.
