Publisher's Synopsis
H.P. Lovecraft is one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th century, known for his vivid imagination, complex prose, and the creation of the Cthulhu Mythos.
But beyond his literary accomplishments, Lovecraft was a deeply complex and troubled individual, whose personal struggles and tragedies deeply affected his work. This is not another boring biography, filled with tedious details of Lovecraft's life. Rather, it is a journey through the twisted and macabre mind of one of the greatest horror writers of all time. The focus of this book is Lovecraft's private life and, using his own writing style and atmosphere to tell the story of his tumultuous upbringing, struggles with physical and mental illness, anxiety and depression, financial difficulties, disillusions and his own fear of the unknown. I hope that this fictional biography will provide readers with a deeper understanding of the man behind the mythos, and a greater appreciation for the legacy that he left behind.
