About the author
H.P. Lovecraft
6,478 books19.6k 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.

Tengo la versión de la editorial Plutón Ediciones donde trae tres cuentos:
1. La llamada de cthulhu; le doy 4/5 estrellas porque tenía otra visión de lo que sería el cuento y me hubiese gustado más que fuera una narración con algún encuentro directo del narrador
2. El horror de Dunwich; no conecte con el autor o el libro (quizá no era el momento de leerlo) pero me aburrió un poco y por ello mismo casi no le entendí 2.5/5
3. Las ratas de las paredes; me gusto este cuento porque fue muy captante desde el inicio. 5/5
