About the author
H.P. Lovecraft
6,282 books19.4k 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.

Es muy corto, me habría encantado que creará más, es bello en cómo él siempre describe lugares tenebrosos, me hace imaginar todo aquello que menciona.

Me gusta mucho la manera como describe los lugares y las personas, este cuento es bueno pero me parece que se pudo haber explotado más; aún así me parece maravilloso poder entrar a este mundo surrealista y tenebroso de Lovecraft

3.5 🌟 Me gustó muchísimo la atmósfera que genera el relato pero en sí no pasa nada, no entiendo por qué acá en goodreads dice que es un relato de vampiros pero bueno...

Si mi memoria no me falla, este fue el primer libro de Don Lovecraft que leí, así que no voy a negar que al principio no me gustó; esta segunda lectura me pareció muy diferente a la anterior, ya que como he leído algo con del autor y este recopilatorio es bastante bueno. Esos cuentos breves me parecieron muy buenos y menos recargadas narraciones
