L’ultimo esperimento: Il ciclo di Cthulhu 27

by H.P. Lovecraft, Librinpillole (Narrator)

Il dottor Arthur Clarendon, celebre medico del 19° secolo, cerca di sconfiggere la febbre nera nel penitenziario di San Quentin, ma le sue oscure sperimentazioni, fatte insieme al suo sinistro assistente Surama, portano a una tragedia, rivelando orrori nascosti. Le famose storie dell’orrore dello scrittore statunitense Howard Phillips Lovecraft continuano a far discutere gli appassionati, incerti se collocarle nella categoria del fantastico più originale o delle cronache di un possibile domani, di un oggi “laterale” in cui antichi misteri si aprono come crepe nel tessuto della realtà. L'ultimo esperimento (“La febbre nera”) raccontato con musiche e suoni.

About the author

Howard 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.
