Herbert West–Reanimator

During his lifetime, the American writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft published not a single book—he only appeared in magazines. Recognition came to him decades after his death. Lovecraft is called the founder of literature of “supernatural horror,” “the literary Copernicus,” and “the Edgar Allan Poe of the twentieth century.” The figure of the writer is shrouded in a veil of conjecture, myths, and mysteries. “Fear is the most ancient and strongest of human feelings, and the most ancient and the strongest fear is fear of the unknown.” — H. Lovecraft
