H. P. Lovecraft is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers
of modern horror fiction and a pervasive influence on popular
culture. His monstrous creations have influenced the look of films
such as "Alien," "Hellboy" and even "Pirates of the Caribbean," and
his most memorable creatures have featured in almost every form of
fantasy art. Yet this eccentric and reclusive resident of
Providence, Rhode Island, did not have a book published during his
lifetime and died at the age of 46 in comparative obscurity,
convinced that he had failed to achieve the recognition he
deserved.
In this comprehensive new biography, author Paul Roland examines
the life and work of the man Stephen King called "the 20th
century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale," and
reveals that Lovecraft's vision was a projection of his inner
demons, his recurring nightmares and his inability to live in what
he considered a hostile world.
The book is illustrated with rare personal sketches of his
creations by Lovecraft himself, images pulp fiction magazines of
the period, film stills and posters, comic strip and graphic novel
panels, family photographs, as well as facsimiles of private
correspondence, original manuscripts and diary extracts in
Lovecraft's own hand.
