H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) was born in Providence, Rhode Island, where he lived most of his life. His relatively small corpus of fiction-three short novels and about sixty short stories-has exercised a wide influence on subsequent works of literary horror, and he is regarded as the leading twentieth-century American author of supernatural fiction.
"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
"One of the twentieth century's most original writers." —Arthur C.
Clarke
