 The Dunwich Horror - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Of genuine blood there was none; only the foetid greenish-yellow ichor which trickled along the painted floor beyond the radius of the stickiness, and left a curious discoloration behind it.
It is perhaps the only tale Lovecraft wrote where the heroes successfully beat the evil being, though it could be argued that the chance death of Wilbur at the paws of the Miskatonic University guard dog defeated the plans before the professors even learned of the true danger.

Annitage, associating what he was reading with what he had heard of Dunwich and its brooding presences, and of Wilbur Whateley and his dim, hideous aura that stretched from a dubious birth to a cloud of probable matricide, felt a wave of fright as tangible as a draught of the tomb's cold clamminess.
