Howard Phillips Lovecraft (Providence, August 20, 1890-Providence, March 15, 1937) better known as H. P. Lovecraft, was an American writer, author of stories and novels of horror and science fiction.

He is considered a great innovator of the horror story, to which he contributed his own mythology —the Cthulhu Mythos—, developed in collaboration with other authors, currently in force.

His work constitutes a classic of cosmic horror, a narrative line that deviates from traditional supernatural horror stories —satanism, ghosts—, including elements of science fiction such as, for example, alien races, time travel, or the existence of other dimensions.

View Author's Page

American writer known for his tales of horror and mystery. He published The King in Yellow (1895), a collection of short stories that influenced fantasy and horror literature, with elements that later inspired writers like H.P. Lovecraft. Although he initially excelled in macabre and supernatural fiction, his career took a turn towards romantic and historical novels, with titles like The Tracer of Lost Persons (1906) and The Dark Star (1917)

His work combines cosmic horror with the literary decadence of the late 19th century. The King in Yellow remains his most recognized book, particularly for its impact on horror mythology. Despite having written numerous novels, his legacy focuses on the influence he had on the horror genre.
