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.

Dans l'abîme du temps

Quasi inconnu de son vivant, Lovecraft est à présent considéré comme l'un des écrivains d'horreur les plus influents du XXe siècle. Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee, professeur d'économie politique à l'université Miskatonic, connait une période d'amnésie grave entre le 14 mai 1908 (il est alors en plein cours) et le 27 septembre 1913. Il semble qu'il fut alors " habité " par une autre personnalité, dotée de connaissances approfondies sur le passé... et le futur de l'humanité.
