"The Haunter of the Dark" by H. P. Lovecraft is a horror short story written in November 1935 and published in December 1936. When young writer Robert Blake becomes obsessed with an abandoned church in Providence, his investigation uncovers a sinister cult and an ancient artifact with terrifying powers. Inside the church tower, Blake discovers a mysterious stone object that can summon an otherworldly entity—one that can only move in darkness. His curiosity unleashes something that should have remained hidden forever. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
