The Haunter of the Dark by H.P. Lovecraft

In the shadowy alleys of Providence stands a forgotten church whose black tower has long unsettled the locals. No one goes there. Birds avoid its roof. And when people do speak of it, they do so in hushed tones. When the young writer Robert Blake notices the building from the window of his apartment, curiosity soon turns into obsession. “The Haunter of the Dark” is one of H.P. Lovecraft’s most unsettling tales, where an ordinary fascination with mystery slowly draws its protagonist into a world of forbidden knowledge. Within the ruins of an abandoned church, Blake uncovers traces of an ancient cult, books filled with blasphemous secrets, and an object that seems to open a window onto something far older, and far more alien than human civilization.

With every encounter he is driven further into the abyss, where fate’s irony can be far more merciless than any blade. “The Seven Geases” by Clark Ashton Smith is a vivid tale from the Hyperborean cycle — a darkly humorous journey through bizarre and terrifying realms beneath the world.
