Autor

H.P. Lovecraft, born in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1890, was an influential yet largely unrecognized writer during his lifetime, gaining posthumous acclaim for his impactful horror fiction, notably the Cthulhu Mythos. His works delve into themes of cosmic horror, forbidden knowledge, and human insignificance in the cosmos. Despite his significant contributions to the genre, Lovecraft's legacy is complicated by his documented xenophobic and bigoted beliefs. His mythos have permeated various media, inspiring writers, filmmakers, and artists, solidifying his position as a pivotal figure in horror and sparking critical discussions regarding his viewpoints.
