The Dunwich Horror

The Dunwich Horror was written by Howard Phillips Lovecraft and first published in 1928. We are told the story of Wilbur Whateley, the son of a deformed albino mother and an unknown father, 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.
