It was in this tale that I learned about Miskatonic University, the standing stones crowning many lonely New England hilltops, the eerie truth about whippoorwills, and course the Necronomicon of the Mad Arab, Abdul Alhazred. The mystery of the Whateleys and their ways, the character of Wilbur and the stunning revelation of his true self, the verisimilitude of the setting and all the trappings work so well. The Dunwich Horror is the story that hooked me on Lovecraft. ![]() Call Me Wizard Whateley: Echoes of Moby-Dick in “The Dunwich Horror” by Peter Cannon.The Mythic Hero Archetype in “The Dunwich Horror” by Donald R.Cover art, interior illustrations and foreword by Pete Von Sholly. ![]()
