A gothic horror tale of students confronting an ancient, indescribable evil in a haunted house, built on paranoia and the unknowable.

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.
