A remote New England village. Dark rumours swirl among its lonely hills. Whispers of strange rites, of a family line touched by shadows, haunt the woods and starlit nights. Something stirs where the old stones lie, and the boundary between the known and the unseen begins to thin. In my Halloween tradition, the tale chosen is “The Dunwich Horror”—a story rich in mystery, and alive with Lovecraft’s trademark unease.

First published in Weird Tales, April 1929.

Collected in "The Outsider and Others" by Arkham House, 1939.

H.P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American writer whose cosmic horror stories explored the limits of knowledge and the fragility of sanity. His influenced echoes through horror, science fiction, and popular culture to this day.

Each Halloween, I have started to keep to a small tradition on The Classic Ghost Stories Podcast: one story from H. P. Lovecraft. In recent years we’ve walked through Dreams in the Witch House, listened to the scratching in The Rats in the Walls, and followed The Hound through its unpleasant business. This year, we return to Lovecraft once more—The Dunwich Horror. A story of degenerate hills, old blood, and the uneasy boundary between what we know and what we’d rather not.
