![]() ![]() The Cthulhu Mythos, as it’s come to be called, includes Lovecraft’s own work as well as the work of other authors who took direct inspiration from his stories (think of it as early-twentieth century author approved fanfiction). Lovecraft encouraged writers to use the world and mythology he created to build off his foundation of cosmic horror, or “Weird” fiction. But his contributions to the realm of speculative fiction are so immense that it’s impossible to ignore his continued influence on the genres of fantasy, horror, and science fiction. Polarising American author HP Lovecraft (1890-1937) wrote some deeply unsavoury things during his lifetime. And with strange aeons even death may die.Ībdul Alhazred, author of the Necronomicon ![]()
