There's the grandfather, a mad old sorcerer; Lavinia, the deformed, albino woman; and Wilbur, a disgusting specimen who reaches full manhood in less than a decade. And above all, there's the mysterious presence in the farmhouse, unseen but horrifying, which seems to be growing . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Wilbur tracks down an original edition of the Necronomicon and breaks into a library to steal it. But his reward eludes him: he gets caught, and the result is death by guard dog. Meanwhile, left unattended, the monster at the Whateley house keeps expanding, until the farmhouse explodes and the beast is unleashed to terrorize the poor, aggrieved village of Dunwich. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As chilling today as it was upon its publication in 1929, \u003ci\u003eThe Dunwich Horror\u003c\/i\u003e is a horrifying masterwork by the man Stephen King called \"the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eH.P.
