"From S. T. Joshi’s notes:
“The church that figures so prominently in the tale is—or was—real: it is St John’s Catholic Church on Atwell’s Avenue in Federal Hill (condemned in the early 1990s and now destroyed). This church was in fact situated on a raised plot of ground, as in the story, although there was (at least prior to its demolition) no metal fence around it. It was, in Lovecraft’s day, very much a going concern, being the principal Catholic church in the area. The description of the interior and belfry of the church is quite accurate. Lovecraft heard that the steeple had been destroyed by lightning in late June of 1935 (he was not there at the time, being in Florida visiting Barlow); and instead of rebuilding the steeple, the church authorities decided merely to put a rather stubby cap on it. This incident no doubt started his imagination working.
The immediate impetus for writing the story, in fact, was the unexpected sale of both At the Mountains of Madness and “The Shadow out of Time” to Astounding Stories in late 1935, a veritable financial lifeline for Lovecraft, who professed that “I was never closer to the bread-line than this year.” Acceptances of this kind always energized Lovecraft, just as rejections depressed and deflated him. Indeed, several rejections by his usual market, Weird Tales, had been so discouraging that he refused to submit any stories to the magazine for years. And he similarly didn’t trouble to submit “The Haunter of the Dark” to Weird Tales—or anywhere else—even though several colleagues praised the story when reading it in manuscript. At last, in the fall of 1936, he did send in the story to Weird Tales; it was promptly accepted and published in the December 1936 issue. He was thrilled to see a splendid illustration to the tale by his new correspondent, the brilliant weird artist Virgil Finlay.
Three months later, Lovecraft was dead.”
—S. T. Joshi"

• New [ N ] Manufacturer Sealed, seal may have been split to check colour variant. Never played. Note some CD’s are manufacturer issued without shrink wrap.

• Mint [ M ] As New. Never played. No corner or edge dings, shrink-wrap is intact. All additional items such as inserts, lyric sheets and posters etc... will be perfect.

• Near Mint [ NM ] May have been played a couple of times but the record shows no signs of having ever been played. This is highest grade allowed for an opened, handled record. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked. Sleeves will be near new condition. Virtually no wear to faces, edges or corners.

• Excellent [ EX ] Record surfaces are bright and clean but may have a few light paper scuffs or superficial surface marks that do not affect play. The record has obviously been played, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light blemish. Sleeve may have some very minor wear to faces, edges or corners of covers.

• Very Good [ VG ] A well cared for used record. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have scuffs or light scratches. May have some very light surface noise or isolated crackles and pops. Labels may be marked lightly. Sleeve may have some ring wear, moderate wear to edges and corners, light creases or stress lines, and other minor defects.

• Good [ G ] Record shows visible signs of wear. Some surface noise may be audible. Groove wear may be noticeable, as will some scratches that may cause clicks or pops. Labels may be marked. Sleeve will have heavier ring wear, edge wear and corner damage and some discoloration.

• Fair [ F ] Likely to be lots of minor scratches and scuffs with surface noise audible. Potential label marks and damage. Sleeve will have noticeable edge and ring wear and feature some tears, marks and discolouration.

• Poor [ P ] Scratched, scuffed and generally well worn with surface noise audible. Sleeve will have heavy ring and edge wear and likely tears, marks and damage. We will endeavour not to sell vinyl in this condition unless it is extremely rare and can be professionally cleaned and salvaged or where the cover is in good enough condition to warrant purchasing for the cover alone.
