Like many visionary artists throughout time from Vincent van Gogh to Baudelaire, H.P. Lovecraft did not get the credit he was due when he was alive for his special kind of genius. Dying poor and alone, he may at first appear to be yet another writer who never had a chance to fully blossom.

From musicians to writers, to philosophers, academics, and sculptors, Lovecraft’s footprint only becomes more defined as time ...

The genesis of this book came from the current trend to write narratives inspired by cinema. Expanding upon the universes ...
