==Synopsis==
A scion of the undecayed Whateleys living in Canada travels to Dunwich to conduct some research on her distant family. There, she encounters an ancient and half-crazed Henry Armitage and the Dunwich Research Agency, a shadowy government agency in service to an Outer God. As the stars align, she witnesses the manifestation of this angry entity, and the final destruction of Dunwich, but the experience leaves on her a terrible mark.
