Le montagne della follia: e altri raconti dell'orrore

by H.P. Lovecraft, Tiziana Lo Porto (Translator)

"Non urlai, ma tutti i demoni dell'inferno che cavalcano il vento notturno urlarono al posto mio mentre in quello stesso istante si abbatté sulla mia mente un'unica, fugace valanga di ricordi che mi schiacciò l'anima." 
L'incubo che prende forma in apparizioni mostruose e infesta un universo diventato all'improvviso terribile e inquietante. Il desiderio irrefrenabile di una conoscenza proibita e i rischi insiti nel comprendere appieno una realtà terrorizzante. La paura e l'orrore rappresentate nella loro forma più evidente e spaventosa. Un viaggio allucinato nell'inferno narrativo di Lovecraft, scrittore visionario e insuperato dell'oscurità.

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.
