RIP HP Lovecraft

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 – March 15, 1937) was an American author of fantasy, horror and science fiction. Although Lovecraft’s readership was limited during his life, his works sustain cult popularity and influence. He created the Cthulhu Mythos as well as the famed Necronomicon. His profound cosmic pessimism underlies all his works.
