What is H.P. Lovecraft's The Haunter of the Dark about?

Status: Finished

The story (which is based on the diaries of its protagonist) is set in Providence, Rhode Island, Lovecraft's hometown and a favorite locale for his fiction. The protagonist, Robert Blake—a young man with an interest in the occult—becomes fascinated by a large disused church set on Federal Hill in Providence's west—the Italian and migrant quarter—which he can see from his lodgings in Providence's Upper East side. His researches reveal that the church has a sinister history involving a cult called the Church of Starry Wisdom and is dreaded by the local inhabitants as being haunted by a primeval evil.

Note: this volume also includes an adaptation of Lovecraft's short story "Dagon"

Cthulhu no Yobigoe: Lovecraft Kessakushuu

Also known as H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu.

Status: Finished
Genres: Horror , Mystery , Psychological , Supernatural

What links together two bands of worshippers, one deep in the Arctic snows, one hidden in the bayous of Louisiana, is more than their shared practice of blood sacrifice. It is the inhuman phrase they both chant: Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn—“In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.” Now these nightmares will disturb the sanity of Francis Thurston, a young man pursuing an investigation into the cult of Cthulhu that leads to the most forsaken spot in the vast Pacific…and to Earth's supreme terror, the risen corpse-city of R'lyeh.
