The Dunwich Horror

Howard Phillips Lovecraft



Santiago Caruso (illustrations)

«No one, even those who have the facts concerning the recent horror, can say just what is the matter with Dunwich; though old legends speak of unhallowed rites and conclaves of the Indians, amidst which they called forbidden shapes of shadow out of the great rounded hills, and made wild orgiastic prayers that were answered by loud crackings and rumblings from
the ground below.»

The tragic story of Wilbur Watheley and the abominable events that occurred in Dunwich plunge the reader into a world inhabited by monstrous nightmares.

Santiago Caruso’s extraordinary illustrations heighten the intensity of one of the most fascinating stories of H. P. Lovecraft.

Santiago Caruso

Buenos Aires, 1982



At the age of twenty-one he was awarded the First Prize for Drawing at the Salon of Plastic Arts at the Roverano Museum. He has collaborated with various press media in his home country as well as with foreign publishers. His work stands out both for its vigor as well as for its technique. It is no overstatement to say that the work of Carusso, which is well represented in the galleries and museums of Buenos Aires, is currently one of the most pleasant revelations of Latin American plastic arts.
