Carter is a quiet and melancholy dreamer with a sensitive
disposition, prone to fainting during times of emotional stress.
But he can also be courageous, with enough strength of mind and
character to face and foil the horrific creatures of the
Dreamlands. Randolph Carter is an antiquarian and one-time student
of the Miskatonic University. Based on clues from various stories,
he was probably born around 1874 and grew up in and around Boston.
At the age of nine, he underwent a mysterious experience at his
great-uncle Christopher's farm and thereafter exhibited a gift of
prophecy. He is the descendant of Sir Randolph Carter, who had
studied magic during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England. Sir
Randolph had then emigrated to America and his son Edmund Carter
later had to flee the Salem witch-trials. Carter also had an
ancestor involved in one of the Crusades, who was captured by the
Muslims and learned "wild secrets" from them. This volume contains
all of H P Lovecraft's stories about Randolph Carter.
