Dunwich, Massachusetts

A shrinking township of ruined mills and abandoned farms, its bloodlines and superstitions equally inbred. The Whateley farm sits apart from the rest of the village, on a hillside overlooking stone circles the locals avoid discussing.

Whereabouts: A decayed farming settlement in the hill country north of Arkham, Massachusetts — its own neighbors consider it backward even by rural New England standards.

Access: By ordinary road from the Aylesbury Pike; no railway reaches the town, and the investigating Miskatonic professors simply drive in by car.
