La sombra sobre Innsmouth

by H. P. Lovecraft

Overview

H. P. Lovecraft, fue un escritor estadounidense, autor de novelas y relatos de terror y ciencia ficción. Se le considera un gran innovador del cuento de terror, al que aportó una mitología propia (los mitos de Cthulhu), desarrollada en colaboración con otros autores y aún vigente. Su obra constituye un clásico del horror cósmico, una corriente que se aparta de la temática tradicional del terror sobrenatural (satanismo, fantasmas), incorporando elementos de ciencia ficción (razas alienígenas, viajes en el tiempo, existencia de otras dimensiones). Lovecraft cultivó asimismo la poesía, el ensayo y la literatura epistolar.

Having died in obscure poverty, he achieved posthumous fame for his books and stories. Today, he is best known for his take on The Call of Cthulhu.
