Forming part of Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, THE DUNWICH HORROR, first published in the April 1929 edition of Weird Tales, takes place in the decaying village of Dunwich, a Massachusetts backwater steeped in rural superstition and dark whispers. When a strange child named Wilbur Whateley is born under mysterious circumstances, a series of bizarre events begins to unfold, drawing the wary attention of both the locals and distant scholars.
