About the author
Born in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1890, he became one of the defining voices of weird fiction. He wrote horror, fantasy, and science fiction, and is best known for stories connected to the Cthulhu Mythos, a shared imaginative universe filled with ancient beings, hidden histories, and a terrifying sense of humanity's smallness.
His life was often difficult. Britannica notes that poor health kept him from attending college, and he supported himself in part through revision and ghostwriting work. Much of his recognition came only after his death in 1937, but his influence kept growing as later writers, editors, and readers carried his work forward.
Today, his name is almost shorthand for cosmic horror. The adjective "Lovecraftian" is now widely used for fiction that blends dread, mystery, and the idea that the universe may be far stranger than people can bear to know.
