Howard Phillips Lovecraft est sans nul doute l’auteur fantastique le plus influent du XXe siècle. Son imaginaire unique et terrifiant n’a cessé d’inspirer des générationsd’écrivains, de cinéastes, d’artistes ou de créateurs d’univers de jeux, de Neil Gaiman à Michel Houellebecq en passant par Metallica.
Le mythe de Cthulhu est au cœur de cette oeuvre : un panthéon de dieux et d’êtres monstrueux venus du cosmos et de la nuit des temps ressurgissent pour reprendre possession de notre monde. Ceux qui en sont témoins sont voués à la folie et à la destruction. Les neuf récits essentiels du mythe sont ici réunis dans une toute nouvelle traduction.
À votre tour, vous allez pousser la porte de la vieille bâtisse hantée qu’est la Maison de la Sorcière, rejoindre un mystérieux festival où l’on célèbre un rite impie, découvrir une cité antique enfouie sous le sable, ou échouer dans une ville portuaire dépeuplée dont les derniers habitants sont atrocement déformés...

About the author
H.P. Lovecraft
6,286 books19.4k 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.

Some of Lovecraft's stories are excellent, some drag. I generally preferred the shorter pieces (although the longest the novel length The Case of Charles Dexter Ward was also very good.) The Colour Out of Space was probably the best. Lovecraft in many ways took over where Poe left off and was at least equally unappreciated during his lifetime.
