Acerca de este libro electrónico
Long acknowledged as a master of nightmarish vision, H.P. Lovecraft established the genuineness and dignity of his own pioneering fiction in 1931 with his quintessential work of supernatural horror, At the Mountains of Madness. The deliberately told and increasingly chilling recollection of an Antarctic expedition's uncanny discoveries --and their encounter with an untold menace in the ruins of a lost civilisation--is a milestone of macabre literature.

Acerca del autor
H. P. Lovecraft, born Howard Phillips Lovecraft on August 20, 1890, in Providence, Rhode Island, is a towering figure in the realm of weird fiction and horror literature. Despite facing economic hardships and personal struggles, Lovecraft's prolific writing has left an indelible mark on the genre. His works, characterized by their intricate mythologies and cosmic horror, delve into the insignificance of humanity in the vast, indifferent universe. Lovecraft's creation of the Cthulhu Mythos, a pantheon of ancient, god-like beings, has inspired countless authors, filmmakers, and artists, cementing his legacy as a pioneer of modern horror. His influence extends to contemporary writers such as Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and Guillermo del Toro, all of whom have acknowledged Lovecraft's impact on their work.However, Lovecraft's legacy is not without controversy. His xenophobic and racist views, evident in both his personal correspondence and some of his writings, have sparked significant debate and criticism. Modern readers grapple with the duality of his contributions to literature and the problematic aspects of his worldview.Despite these contentious elements, Lovecraft's revolutionary ideas about the unknown and the unknowable continue to captivate audiences. His ability to evoke a sense of dread and wonder through his unique blend of science fiction and horror ensures that his work remains relevant and influential in the 21st century. Lovecraft passed away on March 15, 1937, but his cosmic horrors live on, haunting the imaginations of readers worldwide.
