Though I learned little of what’s going on I got a good feel for the atmosphere of the location. I liked this presentation of the setting, as it allowed me to easily put myself in the shoes of this hypothetical traveller’s perspective. The people are inbred and superstitious, the town itself in a state of degradation, and something about the geography itself doesn’t seem right. The setting is introduced through the frame of a hypothetical person driving through rural Massachusetts and making a wrong turn, whereupon they’d find themselves going through the isolated village of Dunwich. I chose “The Dunwich Horror” because unlike other well known stories like “The Call of Cthulhu” or “At the Mountains of Madness,” which I’m intent on reading, I’d heard of this story but knew nothing of what it’s about. I’ve always liked the idea of Lovecraft’s horror, telling of otherworldly monstrosities too terrible to behold or comprehend, but I’d never gotten around to reading any. I read this story in Necronomicon, a large collection of Lovecraft’s “Best Weird Tales” including the complete Cthulhu Mythos cycle. “The Dunwich Horror” is a short story by H. 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. “The Dunwich Horror”Writer: Joe R.In the degenerate, unliked backwater of Dunwich, Wilbur Whately, a most unusual child, is born.
