The Dreams in the Witch House

"Between the phantasms of nightmare and the realities of the objective world, a monstrous and unthinkable relationship was crystallising…" A brilliant college student rents the attic room in an old house known as the Witch House because of the strange lights seen within it at night. As his studies spiral into feverish obsession, bizarre dreams, strange night-time noises and terrifying nightmares become waking visions that threaten not only his sanity, but the very fabric of human existence. Though virtually unknown and financially unsuccessful during his lifetime, H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) is now regarded as one of the most influential 20th-century writers of supernatural horror fiction. Widely credited with inventing the "cosmic horror" genre—fiction that explores humanity‘s insignificance in the face of vast, unknowable cosmic forces—he also created the "Cthulhu Mythos", a shared universe of ancient alien beings and forbidden knowledge that has influenced generations of horror and science fiction writers.
