About this listen

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?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

For starters I adore the narration. Secondly the voice acting, stellar! The gradual descent into madness and despair, and Clark's fate to follow the example of the people he hated, that's sinister poetry.

I can't but admire the similarities between The Haunter In The Dark and Amnesia: The Dark Descent; Darkness is evil, evil is in darkness and only light subdues it, temporarily. For darkness and void are forever.

The story that (probably) inspired Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Loved from the beginning to the end, all Lovecraft stories ought to be dramatized in this way.

Excellent, chilling story and performance as well

Always fun to listen to Dark Adventure Radio Theatre books. The book is pretty much a HP Lovecraft theme based on cultists trying to resurrect and bring forth the darkness. Not the best one though. I would recommend reading Call to Cthulhu, At the mountains of Madness and The shadow out of time by Dark Adventures Radio Theatre.

Fun to listen

Lovecraft's stories are always great, even the lesser known and lesser preferred ones. but they can be a challenging read fir those not used to his antiquated style. This adaptation is a perfect 'translation' of sorts, to better help understand the plot, characters and dark happenings. Thoroughly enjoyable!

A Fun and Enjoyable Listen!
