The Dweller in Darkness (illustrated)

The Dweller in Darkness (illustrated)

Our review

There is something terribly magnetic about Lovecraft's stories of hidden knowledge. The Haunter of the Dark is, for us, the quintessence of that idea: an artist who, obsessed with a mystery, pulls on a thread until he unleashes a nightmare. It is the last great story written by the master of Providence, and its twilight atmosphere is evident.

From his window, a writer becomes obsessed with an abandoned church. Locals whisper legends about an ancient evil that dwells within, a being that fears the light. Driven by curiosity, he decides to venture into its ruins. This classic takes on a new and terrifying life thanks to the spectacular illustrations by Tomás Hijo.

What we like most is that it is a story about us, the "oddballs": those who cannot help but peer into the abyss. And this deluxe edition is a visual incantation that perfectly invokes that darkness.

Robert Blake, a writer of strange fiction, moves to Providence and becomes obsessed with a sinister abandoned church.
