7: The Dunwich Horror by H P Lovecraft: Part 2


Listen Later

The Whateleys are now all gone ... or are they? Something has been left inside the abandoned Whateley farmhouse, and it's going to get hungry ... 

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

Apologies for the intermittent background hissing in the intro this week! Don't know what that was, will investigate.

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!!!!
