The Dunwich Horror

by H. P. Lovecraft

Overview

Master of horror writes a story of true forces of evil. There are six short stories that comprise this edition of The Dunwich Horror. The story beats a lot of modern writers in prose, characters and plot. The story started of well and gave us a spooky small village setting with the odd family of a Grandfather, deformed Albino mother and inhuman grandson and the strange events surrounding his birth and precocious development. Wilbur matures at an abnormal rate, reaching manhood within a decade - all the while indoctrinated him into dark rituals and witchcraft by his grandfather. And above all, there's the mysterious presence in the farmhouse, unseen but horrifying, which seems to be growing... The Dunwich Horror follows the tragic events in Dunwich when Wilbur Whateley delves into dark occult practices with deadly repercussions.

About the Author

H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) was born in Providence, Rhode Island, where he lived most of his life. His relatively small corpus of fiction—three short novels and about sixty short stories—has exercised a wide influence on subsequent works of literary horror, and he is regarded as the leading twentieth-century American author of supernatural fiction.

"One of the twentieth century's most original writers." —Arthur C. Clarke
