Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Haunter of the Dark" by H. P. Lovecraft is a horror short story written in November 1935 and published in December 1936. When young writer Robert Blake becomes obsessed with an abandoned church in Providence, his investigation uncovers a sinister cult and an ancient artifact with terrifying powers. Inside the church tower, Blake discovers a mysterious stone object that can summon an otherworldly entity—one that can only move in darkness. His curiosity unleashes something that should have remained hidden forever.
