About the author
H.P. Lovecraft
6,111 books19.3k 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.

Amo esta colección.

Muy buena la narración y la estética de la edición. Algunos cuentos son mejores que otros, por lo que a veces el libro me atrapaba y en otras me generaba cierta decepción. Destaco que en el libro la tinta se corre muy fácil con apenas humedecerse el papel.
Mis favoritos: "Horror en la playa Martin", "El verdugo eléctrico", "La maldición de Yig", "Los amados muertos" (mi favorito) y "Dos botellas negras".
Los que más difícil se me hizo de leer por parecerme aburridos fueron: "Más allá de las puertas de la llave de plata", "La última prueba" y "La pradera verde".
En general, destaco que la selección de cuentos en este libro es buena y la recomiendo sobre todo para hacer lecturas en aquellos espacios de tiempo en los que se tiene un descanso.
