Randolph Carter is not sure what has happened to his closest friend Harley Warren. The two of them decided to visit an old cemetery in a swamp, but something did not go as planned. Carter was found dazed on the edge of the swamp the next morning. His memory is uncertain and indistinct – but he does remember some of the awful happenings.

‘The Statement of Randolph Carter’ is a horror short story written by H. P. Lovecraft.


H.P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American horror writer. His best known works include ‘The Call of Cthulhu’ and ‘the Mountains of Madness’. Most of his work was originally published in pulp magazines, and Lovecraft rose into fame only after his death at the age of 46. He has had a great influence in both horror and science fiction genres.
