H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937)

H. P. Lovecraft was an influential American author who pioneered the subgenre of cosmic horror. Creator of the interconnected mythology later known as the Cthulhu Mythos, his atmospheric prose explores existential dread, humanity's insignificance, and ancient, incomprehensible horrors.
