About the author
H.P. Lovecraft
7,058 books19.9k followersHoward Phillips Lovecraft, of Providence, Rhode Island, was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction.
Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror: life is incomprehensible to human minds and the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Christianity. Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the mirror-opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality.
Although Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, his reputation has grown over the decades. He is now commonly regarded as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th Century, exerting widespread and indirect influence, and frequently compared to Edgar Allan Poe.

May 29, 2026Maravillosa edición de Javier Calvo, traducida, comentada y recopilada. Los últimos sueños empiezan a delinear el tema central del volumen 3 de las cartas de Lovecraft, que promete ser cuanto menos interesante y polémico. Algunos sueños hielan la sangre y sorprende el extremo detalle con el que relata algunas de sus pesadillas más terribles.
Especialmente adorable que hayan introducido la correspondencia sobre la creación de la Kappa Alpha Tau (KAT) y su desorbitado amor por los gatos, que tienen un sentido peripatético extremadamente tierno y terriblemente triste que retratan a un Lovecraft necesitado de un abrazo y enfermo de mente.
