The Dunwich horror
"The Dunwich Horror" by H. P. Lovecraft is a cosmic horror novella written in 1928. In the decaying Massachusetts village of Dunwich, Wilbur Whateley grows at an unnatural rate, aided by his sorcerer grandfather in dark rituals connected to the entity Yog-Sothoth. When a monstrous invisible presence escapes their farmhouse and terrorizes the countryside, three professors from Miskatonic University must confront an otherworldly horror that defies human comprehension. This tale of forbidden knowledge and cosmic terror is considered a core story of the Cthulhu Mythos.
