Mystical stories on the verge of madness, in which dreams are intertwined with reality - about the great deity Cthulhu and his admirers, mysterious cults and rituals, ancient books and cities - in a collection of stories by the master of supernatural horror H. P. Lovecraft. American writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft did not publish a single book during his lifetime, publishing only in magazines. Recognition came to him decades after his death. Lovecraft has been called the founder of "supernatural horror" literature, the "literary Copernicus" and the "Edgar Poe of the 20th century." The figure of the writer is surrounded by a shroud of speculation, myths and mysteries.
