书籍简介

在马萨诸塞州偏远的邓威治村，四周环绕着荒凉的乡村，幽暗的山谷里荆棘丛生。古老的巫术传说至今仍流传，神秘的石圈山丘下不时传来诡异的地下声响。

在附近一座与世隔绝的农场里，一位名叫拉维尼亚·惠特利的白化病少女生下了一个孩子，名叫威尔伯，孩子的父亲是谁无人知晓。拉维尼亚的父亲老惠特利抚养着威尔伯，这引起了邻居们的怀疑。威尔伯的生长速度惊人，面容丑陋，令他们感到恐惧。关于老惠特利使用巫术的传闻一直不绝于耳。老惠特利死后，威尔伯长大成人，决心继承父亲传授的邪恶知识。为了达成目的，他前往阿卡姆的米斯卡托尼克大学，试图借阅那里藏有的邪恶之书《死灵之书》。阿米蒂奇教授洞悉来访者的恶意，拒绝了他的请求；于是，一幅引人入胜的插图版画作诞生了。

弗朗索瓦·巴朗热是一位享誉全球的插画家，他曾为电影和电子游戏担任概念艺术家，一直以来都对H·P·洛夫克拉夫特的世界着迷。如今，他挑战了将洛夫克拉夫特的主要故事转化为图像的艰巨任务。

In Dunwich, a remote village in Massachusetts, lost in the depths of an inhospitable countryside with dark valleys invaded by brambles, the old stories of witches are still alive and strange subterranean noises resound at times under the hills surmounted by mysterious circles of stones.

On an isolated farm in the region, Lavinia Whateley, a simple-minded albino, gives birth to a child, Wilbur, whose father is unknown. Old Whateley, Lavinia’s father, raises Wilbur while arousing the suspicion of the neighboring inhabitants who are frightened by the speed of growth of the child and his repulsive facies. Rumors of witchcraft have always swirled about Old Whateley, and after his death, Wilbur, upon reaching adulthood, became determined to increase the unholy knowledge imparted to him. To reach his goal, he goes to the Miskatonic University of Arkham to borrow the copy of the sinister Necronomicon in their possession. Professor Armitage, understanding the malevolent intentions of his visitor, refuses to accede to his request; thus a captivating illustrated version is born.

Always fascinated by the world of HP Lovecraft, François Baranger, an illustrator recognized worldwide for his talents as a concept artist for cinema and video games, has tackled the “cyclopean” task of putting his main stories into images.

作者简介

霍华德·菲利普斯·洛夫克拉夫特（1890 年 8 月 20 日 - 1937 年 3 月 15 日）是一位美国奇幻、恐怖和科幻小说作家，如今被公认为有史以来受欢迎的通俗小说作家之一，影响力巨大且读者众多。尽管洛夫克拉夫特在世时读者群有限，但自他去世以来，他已拥有了大量忠实的读者，他们被他扣人心弦的超自然故事所吸引。在学者眼中，洛夫克拉夫特被视为美国哥特式小说的独特流派的典范，其根源可追溯至爱伦·坡。深受坡和霍桑的影响，洛夫克拉夫特和他的前辈们一样，创造了一个完全虚构的、充满想象力的世界，这依然是有史以来引人入胜的小说作品之一。

《敦威治恐怖事件》由 H.P. 洛夫克拉夫特于 1928 年创作，发表于 1929 年 4 月的《奇异故事》杂志。它被认为是克苏鲁神话体系的核心故事之一。

弗朗索瓦·巴朗热是一位享誉全球的概念艺术家，其才华在电影和电子游戏领域备受认可。他很早就被洛夫克拉夫特笔下那些栖息于幻想黑暗角落的生物和景象所吸引。此前，他为《克苏鲁的呼唤》《疯狂山脉》以及《疯狂山脉 2》绘制插图，广受赞誉。本书是这一令人着迷的系列的又一力作，为那些难以想象的文字呈现了令人惊叹的画面。

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 – March 15, 1937) was an American author of fantasy, horror, and science fiction, who is now widely recognized as one of the most influential and widely-read authors of popular fiction of all time. Although Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, since his death he has gained a massive and devoted following of readers who have been captivated by his gripping tales of the supernatural. Amongst scholars, Lovecraft is considered to be an exemplar of a uniquely American strain of gothic fiction, tracing its roots back to Edgar Allen Poe. Deeply influenced by Poe, as well as by Hawthorne, Lovecraft, like his forebears, created an entirely alternate world of sheer imagination that remains one of the most engaging oeuvres of fiction ever created.

Written in 1928 by H.P. Lovecraft The Dunwich Horror was first published in the April 1929 issue of Weird Tales.. It is considered one of the core stories of the Cthulhu Mythos.

François Baranger, an illustrator recognized worldwide for his talents as a concept artist for cinema and video games, was fascinated early on by Lovecraft's creatures and visions which populated the darkest recesses of fantasy. Having previously illustrated The Call of Cthulhu, The Mountains of Madness and The Mountains of Madness Vol. 2, to great acclaim, this book is another installation to the captivating series that offers stunning images for unimaginable words.
