When a student goes missing, one of their teachers realises that it could have something to do with an item in their possession: an antique mirror from the 1600s with a dark past and dangerous power.

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: "The Call of Cthulhu", "The Rats in the Walls", and "The Shadow Over Innsmouth".

Autorenporträt
H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American writer whose innovative blend of horror, science fiction, and fantasy established him as a cornerstone of modern speculative fiction. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Lovecraft faced early personal tragedies that shaped his fascination with the macabre and the unknown. His works often explored themes of cosmic insignificance and ancient, godlike entities, epitomized by the Cthulhu Mythos-a fictional universe that has profoundly influenced the horror genre.Although Lovecraft struggled financially and received little recognition during his lifetime, his stories, including The Call of Cthulhu and At the Mountains of Madness, have since become classics. His vivid imagination, meticulous world-building, and extensive correspondence inspired a network of authors who expanded on his mythos.Despite his enduring literary impact, Lovecraft's legacy is complicated by his xenophobic and racist views, which have drawn critical scrutiny. Today, his works remain widely read and celebrated for their imaginative depth, while also prompting reflection on the complexities of the author's life and beliefs.
