About the author
H.P. Lovecraft
6,204 books19.3k 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.

Una edición preciosa.

Un relato breve, antecedente de lo que estaba por venir y constituiría el ciclo de los mitos de Cthulhu. El relato en sí para mí no pasa de interesante, siempre me ha parecido que tiene un final precipitado, pero la edición es un gustazo, me esperaba un libro ilustrado al uso (una ilustración suelta cada muchas páginas) y es más bien casi un libro de arte conceptual, con profusas ilustraciones. Un librillo que se lee en un rato, pero que te puedes llevar a cualquier lado, y que gusta tener en tu estantería.

Aunque las ilustraciones estan muy trabajadas, parte de la magia de Lovecraft es que sus monstruos y criaturas suelen ser indescriptibles, dejando a la imaginación del lector la creación de las pesadillas relatadas. Demasiados dibujos...

Ha sido bastante breve, creo que es el que más, pero el relato es bastante interesante
