Lovecraft: I Am Providence. Book 1

Howard Phillips Lovecraft lived only 46 years, but he left an invaluable contribution to modern culture. His life was full of contradictions, highs and lows. Now it has been thoroughly studied in detail by the leading world authority S. T. Joshi, who prepared the definitive biography of Lovecraft—a revised and expanded version of a book that became a Bram Stoker Award and a British Fantasy Award winner. Inside you’ll find countless details of Lovecraft’s work, previously unpublished, as well as new information from archives discovered over the last 15 years during which Joshi worked on the book. This is the final word in scholarship on Lovecraft and his era—of a man, a writer, and a thinker who was ahead of his time and, in fact, created a new literary genre.

“Book 1” covers the period from 1890 to 1924.
