6: The Dunwich Horror by HP Lovecraft: Part 1


Listen Later

A small town in rural Massachussets of the early 1900s is experiencing something inexplicable ... something that seems to be centred around the Whateley family and the old standing stones on the hills above their farmhouse ...

Content warning: this story does include elements of racism and classism.

I'm not brave enough to attempt an American accent, but I did try to read the accents as Lovecraft wrote them (phonetically) - please don't judge me too harshly!!!!
