The Dunwich Horror
The author uses Wilbur and the Horror's birth to act as a symbol for the entrance of evil into the human world. Only after their births does the town lose its natural order. Presumably, the two's births act as a herald to the coming of their father, Yog-Sothoth, and the Old Ones.
