“I am disillusioned enough to know that no man's opinion on any subject is worth a damn unless backed up with enough genuine information to make him really know what he's talking about.”

American writer

H. P. Lovecraft was an American writer of weird fiction, horror, fantasy, and science fiction. He became a central figure in twentieth-century horror and is best known for creating the Cthulhu Mythos. His work helped shape modern supernatural horror, and his name now appears in the phrase "Lovecraftian horror," used for stories marked by cosmic dread and strange, ancient forces. His influence has lasted well beyond his own lifetime, and he remains a widely read and discussed figure in speculative fiction.
