Dunwich no Kai (TANABE Gou)
From Dark Horse: The horror was born before dawn on February 2, 1913 the feast of Candlemas, although the people of Dunwich call that ancient festival by a different name. Of unknown father, Wilbur Whateley was not christened, yet he descended still from a once-proud Puritan family that left Salem in 1692 to found Dunwich, Massachusetts. Dr. Henry Armitage, head librarian at Miskatonic University, drives the dusty, rutted roads out to Dunwich to meet the child prodigy with whom he has been corresponding on the most abstruse and disturbing lore. Dr. Armitage can hardly believe the sight of the priceless hoard of occult books rotting away in the Whateley farmhouse nor that of the dark, goatish Wilbur, for whom those books have been his only education. Young Wilbur is not content with his homeschooling to complete his studies, he needs something Miskatonic possesses, the Latin edition of the Necronomicon. And if they're too snooty to lend their precious copy out to a country boy like him, Wilbur has other means to get it. Wilbur Whateley was born into this world with a great and horrific purpose to open a doorway for those not of this world to return to Earth!
