H.P. Lovecraft

H.P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American writer whose groundbreaking blend of horror, fantasy, and science fiction gave rise to the term “Lovecraftian,” now synonymous with cosmic terror and the unknown. Born in Providence, Lovecraft published primarily in pulp magazines during his lifetime and died in relative obscurity, though his work would go on to influence generations of writers. Today, he is regarded as one of the most important and enduring voices in twentieth-century science-fiction.
