THE UNNAMABLE

“There are things on God's Earth that we can't explain and we can't describe.”

Students from Miskatonic University decide to spend the night in the Winthrop house, a spot widely believed to have been haunted for the past 300 years, ever since Joshua Winthrop was horribly murdered and mutilated by the hideous creature born of his wife.
