Publisher's summary

For decades, an old Providence church has stood empty, silently looming in the city's skyline. As a young writer looks into the history of the abandoned church - and the cult that once resided there - an ancient horror stirs. Will he be able finally to solve a mystery shrouded in darkness, or has he merely paved the way to become its next victim?

Spooky Episode

This was another great episode of the Dark Adventure Theater. Many themes are relevant today, freedom of religion and immigration feature in this haunting story. Superb cast and production as usual.

True Excellence!

I cannot praise this enough & I will be buying as many of these old radio style dramatizations as I can find. There is simply nothing even close to these works around. Mr. Lovecraft would've been proud.

Another great work by HP Lovecraft HS

The story was close to the original but adapted for radio so it was amazing. The background sound effects and ambience was perfectly done. If you are a fan of Lovecraft or something similar give this a try.

Wow. Amazing audio effects and music

Incredibly well done, the music and sound effects make the story come alive.
The actors are awesome too.

The story itself is one of the best by Lovecraft.

The story was ok.

This was a good performance from the radio theatere team, it draws you in and makes the story come alive. I liked it, but it was not my favorite Lovecraft story.

DART does it again!

The Haunter of the Dark might not be the best-known Lovecraft work, but that didn't stop HPLHS from giving it their full treatment. Exceptionally well done.

WOW WOW WOW!!!

This story is actually the second in a kind of trilogy with Robert Bloch writing the first and third stories. However even as a standalone tale, this is amazing. One of the scarier stories DART has done, there are some really great performances and scoring to this. Really makes me hope DART will do the other two stories at some point.

Well produced

Great take on Lovecraft’s work. I’m glad they also were true to the more pejorative side of Lovecraft’s writing.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Loved it! I can't get enough of the old school radio shows and I absolutely love the newer dramatized audio performances of old and new books. Great damn job!
