Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890–1937) was a classic of the early twentieth-century horror story and fiction genre. According to the publishing house, Lavkraft’s “gothic saturated writing style and uniquely nuanced mythology have inspired and continue to inspire countless followers”. The French writer Michel Welbeck dedicated his first book – a biographical essay – to him, but Steven King’s work, including the novel “It”, as well as the films of director Guillermo del Toro, would not have been possible without Lavcraft’s influence.
In addition to many adaptations of Lavkraft’s films and video games, including the acclaimed Lovecraft Country, his stories have also inspired Strangers, Stranger Things, and Metallica and Black Sabbath songs.
“The key to the author’s success is the ability to understand the root causes of human fears and aspirations, as well as the groda and multi-layered mythology that permeates all of his work,” the publishers emphasized. “Howard Phillips Lavkraft is a master of mood conjuring, almost every sentence of his is saturated with allusions and loud burns. beliefs. “
