Dunwich Horror

By H. P . Lovecraft

Book Overview

Horror lies in the old decrepit New England town of Dunwich. Outsiders visit Dunwich as seldom as possible and since a certain season of horror all the signboards pointing towards it have been taken down. The scenery judged by an ordinary aesthetic canon is more than commonly beautiful; yet there is no influx of artists or summer tourists. Two centuries ago when talk of witch-blood Satan-worship and strange forest presences was not laughed at it was the custom to give reasons for avoiding the locality. Still even today not all is as it seems in Dunwich an evil magic and rumors of the Old Ones still cling to the countryside. Lovecraft is at his very best in this Cthulhu Mythos tale.

Customer Reviews

What you cannot see can hurt you.

We are introduced to a Massachusetts backwater community where families are inbred and may have produced wizards. A strange, very ugly young man is trying to obtain a rare unabridged Latin version of the Necronomicon for what appears to be a nefarious project. Something smells off about his place. I never saw the movie. However, I was surprised by how well this book, by the inventor of modern horror, is written. Originally published in the summer of 1926, it is a timeless tale about being your brother's keeper.
