Om forfatteren

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (US: ; August 20, 1890–March 15, 1937) was an American writer of weird fiction and horror fiction. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, he spent most of his life there, and his fiction was primarily set against a New England backdrop. Lovecraft was never able to support himself from earnings as an author and editor, and he subsisted in progressively strained circumstances in his last years. He died of cancer at the age of 46.

Lovecraft was virtually unknown during his lifetime and published only in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, but is now regarded as one of the most significant 20th-century authors of weird and horror fiction. Among his most celebrated tales are The Rats in the Walls, The Call of Cthulhu, At the Mountains of Madness, The Shadow over Innsmouth, and The Shadow Out of Time. His writings were the basis of the Cthulhu Mythos, which has inspired a large body of pastiches, games, music and other media drawing on Lovecraft's characters, setting and themes, constituting a wider body of work known as Lovecraftian horror.

La Maison de la sorcière

Quasi inconnu de son vivant, Lovecraft est à présent considéré comme l'un des écrivains d'horreur les plus influents du XXe siècle. Walter Gilman est un étudiant exceptionnellement doué dans des matières relevant de la physique quantique et des lois dimensionnelles. Depuis plusieurs semaines, il est souffrant. Toutes les nuits, Gilman fait des rêves de plus en plus réalistes dans lesquels une sorcière et son horrible familier viennent le visiter, allant jusqu'à laisser des traces de leur passage dans la réalité. Gilman est convaincu de devenir fou.
