Tentang Penulis
Howard Phillips Lovecraft, commonly known as H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937), was an American writer who achieved posthumous fame through his influential works of horror fiction. His writing, particularly the so-called Cthulhu Mythos, has inspired a vast body of literature and an entire subculture of fandom. Though virtually unknown and only published in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, he is now regarded as one of the most significant 20th-century authors in his genre. His bleak philosophy of cosmic indifferentism forms a central theme of his work, wherein humankind’s insignificant place in the vast, indifferent universe is highlighted through his creation of a pantheon of ancient, powerful deities from outer space. Lovecraft’s prose style, while archaic by today’s standards, is characterized by its dense description and a foreboding sense of unease and doom. Notable works include ‘The Call of Cthulhu, ‘ ‘At the Mountains of Madness, ‘ and ‘The Shadow Over Innsmouth, ‘ all of which can be found in ‘H. P. LOVECRAFT – The Complete Fiction in One Volume.’ This volume offers a comprehensive look at the entirety of Lovecraft’s fiction, providing readers with the opportunity to experience the horror master’s work in its totality. Lovecraft’s influence extends far beyond horror, touching the realms of science fiction and fantasy, and his stories continue to be a major source of inspiration for writers, filmmakers, and game designers.
