William Hope Hodgson

(Author)

View Author's Page

He was born in 1875, son of a clergyman from Essex, and from an early age he went to sea as a crew member on merchant ships. However, Hodgson detested that life, and as soon as he had the chance, he left it to engage in other work and to write stories full of mystery, terror, and adventure, many of them set at sea, a dangerous sea filled with monstrous entities and abandoned ships. Although Hodgson's work remained forgotten for years due to his early death in France during World War I, cutting short his literary career, authors such as H.P. Lovecraft, who spoke enthusiastically about his supernatural novel The House on the Borderland (in this same collection), or Clark Ashton Smith claimed him as a master (along with Ambrose Bierce and others) of the emerging American school of Supernatural Horror.

H. P. Lovecraft

(Introduction by)

View Author's Page

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.
