Beschreibung

Marina Willett's is investigating her husband Charlie's disappearance following his escape from an psychiatric hospital. Before he escaped, he had become increasingly obsessed with H. P. Lovecraft, in particular an episode of his life when he cohabited with a young gay fan for two months. While the police presume him to be dead, Marina believes he may have uncovered something significant about Lovecraft's life that someone didn't want anyone knowing about. A classic horror short story by H. P. Lovecraft, "The Night Ocean" is not to be missed by fans of chilling fiction and lovers of Lovecraft's work. Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American writer of supernatural horror fiction. Though his works remained largely unknown and did not furnish him with a decent living, Lovecraft is today considered to be among the most significant writers of supernatural horror fiction of the twentieth century. Other notable works by this author include: "At The Mountains of Madness", "The Rats in the Walls", and "The Shadow Over Innsmouth". Read & Co. is publishing this classic short story now as part of our "Fantasy and Horror Classics" imprint in a new edition with a dedication by George Henry Weiss.

Autor

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (20 August 1890 - 15 March 1937) was an American writer of weird fiction and horror fiction, who is known for his creation of what became the Cthulhu Mythos. Lovecraft was relatively unknown during his lifetime. While his stories appeared in prominent pulp magazines such as Weird Tales not many people knew his name. Throughout his adult life, Lovecraft was never able to support himself from earnings as an author and editor. He was almost exclusively published in pulp magazines before he died in poverty at the age of 46, but is now regarded as one of the most significant 20th-century authors of supernatural horror fiction. Among his most celebrated tales are "The Call of Cthulhu", "The Rats in the Walls," At the Mountains of Madness, The Shadow over Innsmouth, and The Shadow Out of Time.
