About the author

H. P. Lovecraft was born in 1890 in Providence, Rhode Island, where he lived most of his life. He wrote many essays and poems early in his career, but gradually focused on the writing of horror stories, after the advent in 1923 of the pulp magazine Weird Tales, to which he contributed most of his fiction. His relatively small corpus of fiction--three short novels and about sixty short stories--has nevertheless exercised a wide influence on subsequent work in the field, and he is regarded as the leading twentieth-century American author of supernatural fiction. H. P. Lovecraft died in Providence in 1937.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 June 2017I cant write a literature review on what Lovecraft does because my intellectual level is not high enough - but I can safely say I read a lot of books and I read mainly science fiction, fantasy and horror. For me Lovecraft is has done something amazing that I can only compare with The Lord of The rings, Harry Potter, The Circle of Time or the Song of Fire and Ice. Mindbending read.
Highly recommended !
PS: As I said I am not a very smart man, but I got inspired very much by the lovecraftian lore and am now a proud owner of a Sshub-niggurath and Azathoth tattoos.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 November 2021This impressive tome has been staring at me accusingly on Mt TBR for quite some time.
Well, the hard copy from the library anyhow - the eBook has been hiding on my Kindle, having been obtained for the fair price of 'free'.
And impressive it is, leather bound, with a fine purple bookmark, and with silvered edges on its pages. Fortunately it is not in high demand at the local library so I am able to dip into it from time to time. Reader, it took me a year to wade through it, notwithstanding the advantage of lockdowns and pandemics. Lovecraft, despite his storied reputation, does not demand that I continue reading compulsively (unlike I might feel, the writer’s relentlessly dull first person POV protagonists, whose predilection for butting in where they should not drives the narratives, and provides the scaffolding on which Lovecraft hangs his too eloquent prose). I was indeed astonished at how dull was the writing. I was not at risk of being terrified by these stories, instead, Lovecraft usually put me to sleep.
The collection contains the entire work of the writer, in chronological order of publication. This organisation allows the reader to understand how the writer’s skill and confidence grew as his career progressed. And indeed it does improve as the writer tries new techniques, and explores new ideas. It is this visceral sense of the weird, of the alien and the terrifying horrors which lie beneath the surface of our world which are Lovecraft’s legacy to literature.
In most of the stories, Lovecraft’s fascination wars with fear and terror of the ‘other’ and the unknown. His love of architecture and landscape is front and centre, often to the detriment of the flow of story. For every lucid description of an alien and fantastic landscape, one is burdened with a recitation of the Providence street directory!
Interest in the pseudoscientific fads of the early 20th century – of dreams, of theosophy, of reanimating corpses and of evil cults of swarthy halfbreed foreigners are a recurring theme. And this leads inexorably to the concept of the hidden history of the Earth’s deep past, perhaps Lovecraft’s most enduring literary legacy.
His gentleman scientist protagonists are barely more than one dimensional, and their inability to recollect what they experienced regularly deprives them of the means to recall what so horrifies them. Except of course, when discovering a lost city in an unknown mountain range in Antarctica, where they are able to complete many man years of archaeological research and interpretation in mere hours, fortuitously unaffected by either altitude or the minor problem of being pursued by nameless ancient horrors from the abyssal depths of the deep past.
Because I had not previously read the author, I had mistakenly thought that perhaps the reason so many modern writers cite Lovecraft’s works as a source of inspiration is that perhaps, like those who listened to the Velvet Underground, though few, they each formed a band. But no, after wading through a thousand pages of deathly prose, I concluded that all those talented writers realised that they could do so much better with the ideas buried under endless descriptions of New England townscapes, of gambrel roofs and gables and of looming centuried hills. We can be grateful that Lovecraft encouraged others to play in his sandbox. Others have taken it to places he lacked the ability to reach.
I am not disappointed to have completed this reading, though by no stretch of the imagination could it be described as ‘exciting’.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gigantisch
Wer den Cthulhu-Mythos liebt, der kommt auch an den anderen Erzählungen Lovecrafts nicht vorbei. Ich habe die Geschichten im Laufe der Jahre bestimmt schon einige Male gelesen, ich mag die Welt die Lovecraft mit viel Fantasie gezeichnet hat. Einsame Städte, Chaos, wartende Götter, andere Welten, unaussprechliches Grauen und Forscherdrang der zur Obsession ausartet. Lovecraft hat unzählige Künstler inspiriert mit seinen Geschichten und Wesen aus anderen Dimensionen, jenseits unserer einfachen Vorstellungskraft. Wer einmal im Lovecraft-Universum war, der kriegt nicht genug und wird sich auch nach anderen Geschichten und Umsetzungen des Mythos umsehen (siehe Providence-Graphic Novel, Hörbücher und -spiele, Bücher u.a. von Brian Lumley, die musikalische Aufarbeitung von den Tiger Lillies namens "Mountains of Madness" - Lovecrafts Charaktere haben ihre Tentakel in alle Richtungen ausgestreckt).
Unbedingt lesen und Teil des Unglaublichen werden - die Großen Alten warten.
Es ist nicht tot, was ewig liegt,
bis dass die Zeit den Tod besiegt.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tutto Lovecraft!
Acquistata d'impulso versione kindle visto il prezzo irrisorio. Che dire, avevo già letto le sue opere un trentina di anni fa in italiano, i racconti mi sembra ci siano tutti (forse c'è anche qualche "ritaglio" che non mi pare presente nella edizione italiana che avevo letto); probabilmente è stato un po' sopravvalutato come "scrittore di culto", però rileggerlo dopo tanto tempo è comunque piacevole, diversi racconti sono affascinanti anche se il suo inglese non è proprio facilissimo. Peraltro ho sempre avuto la sensazione che lui stesso fosse fascinato dall'oscuro e terrificante mondo parallelo che narrava, quasi lo preferisse alla sua vita reale.

5.0 out of 5 stars De mis favoritos.
Me gusta navegar en Amazon y encontrar eBook a precio accesible, dado que casi cualquier dispositivo tiene luz verde para leerlos me resulta agradable. Seguiré comprando cada que tenga oportunidad.
Y que decir de esta obra maestra, de gastar cientos de pesos en una departamental aquí pagué menos de 30 y lo puedo leer en donde sea cuando quiera sin temor a dañar el papel.

5.0 out of 5 stars " and the "Mountains of Madness" to all be great stories. Can we get a good quality movie ...
Bought the Kindle version, and it's exactly as advertised; all of Lovecraft's published works. It's interesting to read all of primary components present in modern horror movies first laid down to paper 80 to 90 years ago by this guy. I found "Whispers in the Darkness," "The Dunwich Horror," the "Call of Cthulhu," "The Shadow Over Innsmouth," and the "Mountains of Madness" to all be great stories. Can we get a good quality movie Cthulhu please?
