La acción tiene lugar en esa zona creada por Lovecraft y venerada por la cultura popular: Arkham, una ficticia área rural de Massachusetts.

Además, sabe meternos en la piel de esa casta de puritanos subdesarrollados y hace que percibamos el hedor que rodea esos bosques que jamás han sentido el hacha del hombre.
