H. P. Lovecraft, whose works did not enjoy much popularity during his lifetime, became a beacon and a guide for an entire genre. He was an idol for both broad reading audiences and refined intellectuals, an inexhaustible source of inspiration for filmmakers—and even his name itself has become a household word. Even Borges admired his stories, in which a person is situated on the far periphery of an all-encompassing cosmic scheme, while forces from beyond the world instill in the careless souls a sacred terror. So, here are the tales of one of the most influential myth-makers of the twentieth century.
