The place called Dagon

A brooding New England night finds a young country doctor thrust from his modest practice into a remote, forbidding farm that locals avoid even in daylight. The call comes from a mysterious boy, bearing urgent news of a grievous wound that has driven the farm’s master to the edge of madness. As Dreeme rides through moon‑lit fields toward the isolated Westcott estate, the landscape itself feels haunted—shadowed stone walls, looming trees, and an unsettling, almost mythic silhouette that haunts the road.

Inside the imposing house, the doctor confronts an atmosphere thick with secrecy, where whispered rumors of the Westcotts’ ostracism mingle with an uncanny stillness that seems to pulse from the very walls. Amidst the looming sense of dread, he must navigate a web of fear, superstition, and a possible supernatural presence that threatens to swallow the truth. The opening sets a tense, atmospheric stage for a tale where the boundaries between medicine and the uncanny begin to blur.
