The Dunwich Horror

It is so fascinating how H.P.Lovecraft with so little manages to tell these rather complicated stories and weave the horror... I'm sitting here listening to audiobook with a twist in my stomach, and I'm slightly at unease about what might be under my bed - there can't be any ancient horrors there, I live in a high rise, 3rd floor and the bed is closed, there are storage boxes under the bed. Not even cats get there without opening the boxes. But, nevertheless, I would be surprised if the floor was slimy :-D
I feel bad for Wilbur Whateley, though I don't think I should. X-D Oh, us humans with our empathy, sympathy, compassion...
