The writer H. P. Lovecraft, in his relatively short life (1890-1937), perfected the inspiration of his spiritual master Edgar Allan Poe, in terms of conceiving an atmosphere of terror in his narratives and thus creating cosmic terror. He abandons once and for all haunted gothic castles, ghosts, vampires, and witches to design an underworld of semi-human, extraterrestrial, or extra-dimensional beings, and terror transforms for the reader into a fear of the cosmic, of the universe. In the author's world, there is always something menacing, but its nature is never known to such an extent that no matter how much we struggle, we remain trapped in it. -- The writer H. P.
