The story takes place in Providence, Rhode Island and revolves around the Church of Starry Wisdom. The cult uses an ancient artifact known as the Shining Trapezohedron to summon a terrible being from the depths of time and space. The Shining Trapezohedron was discovered in Egyptian ruins, in a box of alien construction, by Professor Enoch Bowen before he returned to Providence, Rhode Island in 1844. Members of the Church of Starry Wisdom in Providence would awaken the Haunter of the Dark, an avatar of Nyarlathotep, by gazing into the glowing crystal. Summoned from the black gulfs of chaos, this being could show other worlds, other galaxies, and the secrets of arcane and paradoxical knowledge; but he demanded monstrous sacrifices, hinted at by disfigured skeletons that were later found in the church. The Haunter of the Dark was banished by light and could not cross a lighted area.

By Dione Basseri Lovecraft delivers a sick (though friendly) burn to a fellow writer who had previously inserted a Lovecraft-inspired character into his work. In that the main character of this story is styled after his fellow writer. And is tormented mercilessly.A young man becomes fascinated with an abandoned local church. On entering it, he somehow summons a creature from other realms, though it remains trapped inside the church so long as there is light to keep it at bay. The city always has a little light shining, but one night, a storm comes, and the power begins to flicker....While I commonly criticize Lovecraft stories for following the same template (explore scary area, face abominations, go mad), this one at least held my interest somewhat, as we know a bit more about the creature threatening the town. It has a weakness. Light. Simple, but also simple to lose that advantage. So, overall, I like it.This story is in the public domain and is available in many free formats. I listened to the free audio production available from the Drabblecast.

Lovecraft once wrote that the most merciful aspect of nature is that humans cannot correlate all of its manifestations. That is not to say literaturists and scientists have not tried. Witness in science: Quantum Theory, Relativity, String Theory, M-Theory, and with the recent discussion of Gravity Waves due to "Black Hole Collisions," such theories might become closer to the goal than a millionth of a billionth, billionth, billionth centimeters. In literature, there are the writings in Mysticism, Religion, Speculation, Philosophy and all the others. None of these endeavors has succeeded although the more dubious the reasoning the more "certain" solutions become. Physicists, for example, are not certain based on the most careful of mathematical reasoning that a Theory of Everything is possible at all, whereas Religionists consider doubt a weakness. In reading Lovecraftian Fantasy, one is allowed two alternatives: a. the melody b. the meaning. Specifically, the present volume, "The Hunter of the Dark" provides a treatment of the ultimate essence of the Universe from the point of view of an autodidact steeped in science who lets his imagination have free rein in expressing both melody and meaning. The paper and print manifestation of the story provides a delicious connection to volumes mentioned in the story, (Necronomican, etc.), and the reactions of the central character exemplify a human reaction to the meaning of experiencing the true nature of reality, free from comforting illusions, which is madness. From these points of view Lovecraft develops the experience with consummate skill. Any considerations beyond this specific are irrelevant. Lovecraft composes a kind of musical composition with tones based not only with the power of the Roman alphabet, but also the manifestations as fleeting images and other sensations in the mind of the reader produced by sequences of these symbols. And, in the end the reader is left to wonder whether a personal experience of the true nature of reality is advisable - thus, the ultimate nature of meaning. And, still further, Lovecraft's pantheon of "beings" develop far beyond the fleeting images provided in his other productions. One additional merit of, "The Haunter of the Dark" might cause the reader to investigate the writings of Kant, Husserl, Nietzsche, Satre, Darwin, Bohr, Feynman, Heisenberg, Pauli, Schrodinger, etc., etc. for further study.
