Wentworth's Day is a short story by August Derleth based on a mythos created by H P Lovecraft. - AsNotedIn
North of Dunwich lies an all but abandoned country, one which has returned in large part - after its successive occupation by the old New Englanders, the French-Canadians who moved in after them, the Italians, and the Poles who came last-to a state perilously close to the wild. The first dwellers wrested a living from the stony earth and the forests that once covered all that land, but they were not versed in conservation of either the soil or its natural resources, and successive generations still further depleted that country. Those who came after them soon gave up the struggle and went elsewhere.
