Отрывок из книги

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 — March 15, 1937) — known as H. P. Lovecraft — was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction. He is one of the seminal horror authors of the twentieth century who wrote more than one hundred stories, and achieved popular acclaim in such publications as Astounding Stories and Weird Tales.

Lovecraft’s major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror; the idea that life is incomprehensible to human minds and that the universe is fundamentally alien. Although Lovecraft’s readership was limited during his life, his reputation has grown over the decades, and he is now commonly regarded as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th century.
