The Arkham Dossier
Selected Reports and Protocolls filed 1923-1935 by Howard P. Lovecraft
This dossier collects the following documents chronicling certain
disturbing events that took place in, nearby or relate in any way to
the city of Arkham or Miskatonic University, during the first four
decades of the 20th century:
The Unnamable, a protocoll dated Septembre 1923.
It has been suggested by several authorities on the subject that the
narrator of these events "Carter" may have been Randolph Carter or a
relative to him. Unfortunately, the protocoll itself does not specify
where and from whom Lovecraft obtained this singular statement.
The Festival, written in Octobre of 1923.
The Silver Key, written in 1926.
Discusses mysterious disappearance of Randolph Carter, contains ominous
reference to Ulthar "beyond the River Skai".

The Whisperer in Darkness, written Septembre 1930.
At the Mountains of Madness, dated March of 1931.

Expedition of 1930. Incidentally mentions Leng and Kadath amongst many
other unspeakable thing.
