The Dunwich Horror [EPUB ebook] 

In H.P Lovecraft’s ‘The Dunwich Horror’, we are told a story of Wilbur Whateley, the son of a deformed albino mother and an unknown father (alluded to in passing by the mad Old Whateley as ‘Yog-Sothoth’), and the strange events surrounding his birth and precocious development. Wilbur matures at an abnormal rate, reaching manhood within a decade. All the while, his sorcerer grandfather indoctrinates him into certain dark rituals and the study of witchcraft.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft was an American author of fantasy, horror and science fiction.

He is notable for blending elements of science fiction and horror and for popularizing ‘cosmic horror’: the notion that some concepts, entities or experiences are barely comprehensible to human minds, and those who delve into such risk their sanity. Lovecraft has become a cult figure in the horror genre and is noted as creator of the ‘Cthulhu Mythos, ‘ a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a ‘pantheon’ of nonhuman creatures, as well as the famed Necronomicon, a grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works typically had a tone of ‘cosmic pessimism, ‘ regarding mankind as insignificant and powerless in the universe.
