Synopsis "Fungi From Yuggoth - the Sonnet Cycle: Contextualized With a Selection of Other Lovecraft Poems - a Pulp-Lit Annotated Edition "

Although he's best known for his works of weird fiction, H.P. Lovecraft for most of his life considered himself primarily a poet. This cycle of 36 classic-form sonnets, infused with his trademark cosmic dread, represents the pinnacle of Lovecraft's career as a poet, and it's his most well-known and thoroughly-studied body of poetry. This volume presents Fungi from Yuggoth in the context of Lovecraft's literary life, with examples of his other poetry. In it, you will discover -- or rediscover -- the dark humor, bold imagination, and sparkling wit that is Howard Phillips Lovecraft's enduring gift to the world.

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.
