The Dunwich Horror

by H. P. Lovecraft

Overview

Deadly forces are about to be awakened …

In the degenerate, unliked backwater of Dunwich, Wilbur Whately, a most unusual child, is born. Of unnatural parentage, he grows at an uncanny pace to an unsettling height, but the boy’s arrival simply precedes that of a true horror: one of the Old Ones, that forces the people of the town to hole up by night, fearful for their lives, by day able only to trace the wreckage wrought by the gigantic, unseen monster.

In this and other tales of the macabre, H. P. Lovecraft weaves unearthly fantasies of creatures beyond conception – existing between the spaces of the dimensions we know.

About the Author

H.P. Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1890. He was self-educated and lived in his birthplace all his life, working as a freelance writer, journalist, and ghostwriter. His best work - including some sixty or so short stories - was published from 1923 onwards in the pulp magazine Weird Tales. He died in 1937, in poverty and virtually unknown; today he is recognized as one of the great masters of supernatural fiction.

Editorial Reviews

Lovecraft is undrawable. By definition. Each of his short stories is teeming with adverbs and nouns that insist that no, we will not be able to represent these horrific visions. How does François Baranger do it? What is his strategy? I don't know, but it works. Joann Sfar - French comics artist, comic book creator, novelist, and film director.
