"The Haunter of the Dark" by H.P. Lovecraft

(Dedicated to Robert Bloch)

I have seen the dark universe yawning
Where the black planets roll without aim-
Where they roll in their horror unheeded,
Without knowledge or lustre or name.
-Nemesis.

I've been sick for the past week and this was my first attempt to record while sick. Not sure how I feel about the result. I hate the idea of not recording for another week or however long it takes for this to clear up, but also don't like the result of recording with some congestion and cough going on. Hmmm...

This story has several references to other stories, like the Old Ones from "At the Mountains of Madness", and Nyarlathotep from the story of the same name, and Yuggoth from "The Whisperer in Darkness". The later we get into Lovecraft's publication history, the more cross-overs there are!
