If you can get past the length of the story, it is VERY good. At the Mountains of Madness is, frankly, better then The Dunwich Horror, and Lovecraft fans list it as their third fav story after Call and Innsmouth.

I think Haunter, Call, Innsmouth, Mountains, would be in my top five. I do not know what my other top five would be.



I finished Haunter just now (it was only 20 pages long), and I'll try to find time to post a synopsis and a review tomorrow. Here are Mythos elements in Haunter:

Necronomicon
Un. Kulten
Des Vermis Mysteriis
Les Cultes des Ghoules

Nephren-Ka

Nyarlathotep
Azazoth
Yog-Sothoth


All of these, except for Nephren-Ka are mentioned very briefly as window dressing. You could pick up Haunter Of the Dark and read it without any previous Mythos expereince and it would work for you, so I like that.
