Why does Old Whateley keep buying more and more cattle, yet the size of the herd stays the same? And why are he and his hideous grandson Wilbur always expanding their farmhouse? It's well known in the village of Dunwich that the Whateleys are not quite normal, but the residents are not prepared for the horror that's about to be unleashed on the world once the Necronomicon is opened.

A classic tale from one of the founders of science fiction, The Dunwich Horror introduces some of the earliest elements of what would become H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. First published in 1929 in the pulp magazine Weird Tales, the sense of impending doom permeates the tale, with many popular horror writers naming it as one of their favourite works by the author.
