About the author
H.P. Lovecraft
6,109 books19.3k followersHoward Phillips Lovecraft, of Providence, Rhode Island, was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction.
Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror: life is incomprehensible to human minds and the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Christianity. Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the mirror-opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality.
Although Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, his reputation has grown over the decades. He is now commonly regarded as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th Century, exerting widespread and indirect influence, and frequently compared to Edgar Allan Poe.

Not my cup of tea.
Está clarísimo que me gusta lo lovecraftiano, pero no la obra de Lovecraft en si.

Puede parecer que empieza lento, con los personajes estableciéndose en la Antártida y describiendo su investigación, pero desde un inicio se presenta la sensación de que algo no esta bien, con el narrador oponiéndose a otra exposición en la Antártida y lentamente narrando los horrores que presencio.

Lovecraft copia de manera impresionante el estilo narrativo de Poe en Gordon Pym, y resuelve satisfactoriamente el misterioso final de dicha obra a través de su cosmogonía propia.

Buen setting y misterio inicial, se me complico con las descripciones de los lugares, me costaba seguirlas o no las seguia siquiera jajaja. Las revelaciones, criaturas y final me gustaron mucho.

Un misterio que te atrapa y te hace querer saber más de ese lugar, durante toda la historia sentía tensión y curiosidad por saber que pasará con los protagonistas, las descripción de las montañas son increíbles y de sus misterios también, el desarrollo y desenlace de los personajes es muy bueno
