Consummate FantasyBy Whizbang!!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.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Lovecraft, supernatural horror in literature.By Classic GeorgeMany of these tales can be gotten else where. W hat makes this collection is not a tale at all. It is his unique essay written in 1927 called supernatural in literature. Just to read his take at that time of what he considers the history and greats of the past and who are the modern masters, listing each one and describing there best stories is invaluable. Here is a brief list of the "modern" masters and their stories. Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, Dunsany and M.R. James. To each he gives a brief bio and describes most of their important tales in a way that will make you want read all of them. This is a very informative essay in this field.

All but one of the Randolph Carter tales are included, as is E'ch- Pi-El's magnificent sonnet sequence. The diversity of moods and prose styles as shewn in stories as unique as "Polaris," "Celephais," and "Pickman's Model," reveal the dexterity with which Lovecraft approached his writing of weird fiction. The selection is very generous, making this a perfect book for those who are reading H. P. Lovecraft for the first time. Some people complain that Lovecraft isn't "easy to read"--this is, of course, more a critique of the reader than of Lovecraft. It is a false accusation. Many readers come to Lovecraft's weird fiction during adolescence, and they find his writing not only easy to read but enthralling. Lovecraft's growing world-wide popularity is ample proof that Lovecraft is not difficult to read, and always rewarding.

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.
