Laneti Uyandırma

by H.P. Lovecraft

H.P. Lovecraft'ın korku edebiyatının hala aşılamamış bir kalemi olması şüphe götürmeyen bir gerçektir.
-Stephen King-

Korku edebiyatının gelmiş geçmiş en büyük ustalarından biri olduğu kabul edilen Lovecraft sıklıkla birçok yazarı etkilemiş hatta taklit edilmiştir. Korku ve gerilim romanlarına yeni bir boyut getiren Lovecraft klasik hayalet ve cadılar yerine insanoğlunu fena bir şekilde aklıselimliliğini yitirmesini, karmakarışık ve kötü niyetli evrenin merkezinden uzak zavallı bir yaratık olarak işliyor. Lovecraft'ın tüyler ürperten bu kitabının etkisinden kolay kolay kurtulamayacaksınız.

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.

Kitapta yazarın 17 öküsü var. Yayın evi berbat, yazım hatalarını geçtik sonu tamamlanmamış cümleler bile var ama yazar ve öyküler çok iyi olduğu için keyifle okunuyor.
