Informazioni su questo ebook

Wilbur Whateley has lived in the run-down town of Dunwich for his entire miserable life. Born to a deformed outcast mother and an unknown father, Wilbur, along with the rest of his strange and dark family, is shunned by the Dunwich residents. When Wilbur attempts to gain access to the Necronomicon in Miskatonic University’s library, Dr. Henry Armitage suspects he desires the powerful book of the dark arts for reasons that are not purely academic. But, Wilbur’s fascination with the Necronomicon are only the beginning of the horror that the Whateley family has in store for Dunwich.

“The Dunwich Horror” expands on the mythos surrounding the Great Old One Yog-Sothoth, first introduced in H.P. Lovecraft’s story “The Case of Charles Dexter Ward.” “The Dunwich Horror” was considered one of Lovecraft’s most disturbing tales and has been adapted many times for film and audio.
