H.P. Lovecraft is
considered to be one of the most influential horror and fantasy writers
of the 20th century. His work is frequently compared to the
likes of Edgar Allan Poe, and explored the idea that life is
incomprehensible to human minds and that the universe is fundamentally
alien.
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the
inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a
placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity; and it
was not
meant that we should voyage far."
The Call of Cthulhu is probably Lovecraft’s
best-known work, written in the summer of 1926. Discovering
notes left by a deceased relative, the narrator pieces together the whole
truth and disturbing significance of the Cthulhu cult. This release also
contains the shorter tales The Festival and The Hound, where
gravediggers bring home more than they bargained for!
"I think it is beyond doubt that H. P. Lovecraft has
yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century's greatest
practitioner of the classic horror tale."
- Stephen King
