Lovecraft's, \"The Dunwich Horror\", we are told the 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHoward 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.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50366948311314,"sku":"9781979693097","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_3cc15e64-b1c0-4e72-a2f5-932292d2e74e.jpg?v=1728482290","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-dunwich-horror-9781979693097","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
