What if the end of the world began in a forgotten town-and no one believed the warning signs?

The Dunwich Horror is one of H.P. Lovecraft's most iconic works, a cornerstone of the Cthulhu Mythos and a masterclass in building tension, unease, and existential dread.

Set in a backwoods Massachusetts village, the story follows the cursed Whateley family and the rise of a monstrous, invisible entity born from an unholy union. As the boundaries between worlds begin to thin, only forbidden knowledge and ancient incantations might stand between mankind and cosmic annihilation.
