About this audiobook
Deadly forces are about to be awakened!
In the degenerate, unpopular backwater of Dunwich, Wilbur Whately, a most unusual child, is born. 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, fearing for their lives, only able to trace the wreckage wrought by the gigantic, unseen monster by the bright light of day.
In his classic style, H. P. Lovecraft weaves unearthly fantasies of creatures beyond conception — existing between the dimensions that we know.

This audiobook shared universe of interconnected stories and entities that embody the cosmic indifference and incomprehensibility of the universe. Through references to ancient tomes, forbidden rituals, and malevolent deities, the story deepens the mythology of the Mythos, adding layers of mystery and intrigue to the lore.
