With an increasing distance from the twentieth century . . . the
New England poet, author, essayist, and stunningly profuse
epistolary Howard Phillips Lovecraft is beginning to emerge as one
of that tumultuous period s most critically fascinating and yet
enigmatic figures, writes Alan Moore. But at the time of his death,
Lovecraft was maligned by critics and ignored by the public. Now,
Leslie S. Klinger reanimates Lovecraft as never before, charting
the rise of the pulp writer, whose rediscovery is almost
unprecedented in American literary history. Following a trajectory
not unlike Melville or Poe, Lovecraft s vast body of work a mythos
in which humanity is a blissfully unaware speck in a cosmos shared
by ancient alien beings is increasingly being recognized as the
foundation for American horror and science fiction.
With nearly 300 illustrations and more than 1,000 annotations,
Klinger illuminates every hidden dimension of 22 of Lovecraft s
most canonical works."
