Autorenporträt
H. P. Lovecraft, born Howard Phillips Lovecraft on August 20, 1890, in Providence, Rhode Island, is a seminal figure in the genre of supernatural horror fiction. His work is known for its atmosphere of cosmic dread and the theme of humanity's insignificant place in the cosmos. Lovecraft's literary style is characterized by its archaic prose and the frequent use of pseudobibliographical references to lend a sense of verisimilitude to his stories. He was relatively unknown during his lifetime and published solely in pulp magazines before he died in poverty on March 15, 1937. It was only posthumously that Lovecraft's work began to receive recognition, with collections such as 'The Best of Lovecraft' bringing his stories to a broader audience. These stories often center around the fictional mythology of the 'Cthulhu Mythos,' a pantheon of eldritch beings and ancient deities. Despite his controversial personal views, which have been the subject of considerable scholarly debate, Lovecraft's influence on the horror genre is undeniable. He has inspired a plethora of authors and artists and is regarded as one of the most influential writers of twentieth-century horror. The cyclopean architectures, non-Euclidean geometry, and the forbidden tomes that populate his stories, such as the infamous 'Necronomicon,' have gained a cult following over the years and have substantially impacted popular culture.
