Summary

Under the circumstances, McHugh would probably have been wiser never to have attempted such a revival. Had he cared to open his ears he might have heard warnings in plenty, for Woodford’s Theater had become a tradition in the profession, an evil one, a menace, in short, for the superstitious.
It is difficult to trace such beliefs to a reasonable source. Few along Broadway attempted it. The stock company, which five years ago had opened the house for a winter’s campaign, offered sufficient testimony. If there was nothing more than rumor behind the theater’s reputation, why, people asked, had that company within a week abandoned its lease and forfeited its guaranty? Why had its leading man on the final night rushed from the stage, his eyes fixed, shaken throughout as if by some experience beyond human comprehension?

    In "The Dreams in the Witch House," H.P. Lovecraft weaves a chilling tale centered around Walter Gilman, a curious scholar who takes up residence in the ominous Witch House, a place steeped in dark history and whispers of malevolence in the shadowy town of Arkham. This eerie abode once served as a prison to the infamous Keziah Mason, a witch whose vanishing from a Salem jail in 1692 is shrouded in mystery and dread. 
As Gilman settles into the decaying, crooked rooms of the Witch House, he uncovers a haunting truth: nearly all who have lived there before him met untimely and tragic ends. The palpable sense of foreboding in these walls presses upon his mind, igniting sparks of both dread and fascination.In his restless slumber, the line between reality and nightmare blurs, as he is transported to the alien city of the Elder Things. He is drawn into a nightmarish communion with Keziah Mason and her sinister henchmen, whose otherworldly presence chills him to the bone. Each dream pulls him deeper into a supernatural labyrinth where darkness reigns, and the very fabric of sanity begins to fray.
