“No breed of cats in its proper condition can by any stretch of the imagination be thought of as even slightly ungraceful - a record against which must be pitted the depressing spectacle of impossibly flattened bulldogs, grotesquely elongated dachshunds, hideously shapeless and shaggy Airedales, and the like.”

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.
