"Cautious investigators will hesitate to challenge the common belief that Robert Blake was killed by lightning..."

Dark Adventure Radio Theatre®: The Haunter of the Dark brings to life H.P. Lovecraft's tale of a lingering supernatural horror in a 1930s-style radio drama. Dark Adventure Radio Theatre® presents the tale with a huge cast of professional actors, exciting sound effects and thrilling original music by Reber Clark. Click here for more information about our other Lovecraft stories in the Dark Adventure Radio Theatre® series. They're like movies you can enjoy with your eyes closed.

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 — he stirs an ancient horror. Will he be able to finally solve an unspeakable mystery, or has he merely paved the way to become its next victim?

The CD edition will feature the 76-minute audio show plus a collection of props to enhance your listening experience. They include:

  • a clipping from the Providence Telegram covering riots outside the old church
  • a letter from the Vatican to a concerned priest of Providence
  • a page of notes deciphering a cryptic passage from an unholy book of the Church of Starry Wisdom, including an illustration of the Shining Trapezohedron 
  • a letter by Robert Blake praising a certain Providence author of weird fiction

All of these great extras are complemented by the fantastic artwork of illustrator Darrell Tutchton in the style you've come to know and love from other episodes of Dark Adventure Radio Theatre®.

The cover art is available as a framed print, on garments and other fun items in our Redbubble store!

Just a little different but still the same

This is probably one of my favorite stories that doesn’t get a lot of attention from his original stories & this DART episode did not disappoint at all! It had a different style than the past episodes I purchased but mostly to do with the story revolving around a cult than a cosmic elder thing. Phenomenal job!

A Terrifying Classic Brought to Life

Lovecraft and Robert Bloch were clearly having fun bumping each-other off in "The Shambler from The Stars" and this follow-up tale, but they kept the stories terrifyingly serious, and the HPLHS crew have actually improved on the original. They've added new and interesting characters for the unfortunate hero to interact with and fleshed out the back stories of the Starry Wisdom sect and the missing reporter, which Lovecraft only briefly touched on. And all the while maintaining the atmosphere of steadily mounting terror and paranoia. One of their best yet!

Great Adaptation

Well done version of this story. Performances as usual are stellar and entertaining. Very moody piece with the added music and effects. Blakes descent into madness was the spine of the story and a great extension of the Lovecraft mythos.

The pasta...

This was a really good adaptation and the acting as always is great. The props add a lot of emersion when your listening. You should really purchase this.

Spooky

Yet another wonderful effort from DART.
The DART radio plays are a great way to fill in a spare hour. Well-produced by professional voice actors, musicians, and sound/special effects, they are top quality entertainment that absolutely capture the ambience of the 1930’s. I’ve now bought at least 6-8 and will get them all in the end. Being in Australia, I usually just get the digital download to avoid shipping costs, but the one I bought as a CD and props was fantastic. HPLHS props are just SO good.I love these plays!
