The Dunwich Horror and Others

About this book

A child grows at a terrifying speed in an isolated New England farmhouse. Ancient books hint at his family's purpose, while other stories expose unsuspecting people to beings older than the world they know.

This collection gathers major works of H. P. Lovecraft's cosmic horror, including the tale of the Whateley family and the invisible threat at Dunwich. His imagined New England is full of deserted hills, neglected libraries and dangerous histories. The stories connect the smallest local mystery with a universe in which human life occupies a precarious place. Some of the worst revelations arrive long before anything can be seen.
