Howard Phillips "H. P." Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 . March 15, 1937) was an American author of horror, fantasy
and science fiction, especially the subgenre known as weird fiction.
Lovecraft's guiding literary principle was what he termed "cosmicism" or "cosmic horror", the idea that life is
incomprehensible to human minds and that the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like
his protagonists, gamble with sanity. As early as the 1940s, Lovecraft had developed a cult following for his
Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fiction featuring a pantheon of humanity-nullifying entities,
as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works were deeply
pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Christian humanism.
Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the antithesis of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily
glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality and the abyss.
