    H. P. Lovecraft

    Renowned as one of the great horror-writers of all time, H.P. Lovecraft was born in 1890 and lived most of his life in Providence, Rhode Island. Among his many classic horror stories, many of which were published in book form only after his death in 1937, are ‘At the Mountains of Madness and Other Novels of Terror’ (1964), ‘Dagon and Other Macabre Tales’ (1965), and ‘The Horror in the Museum and Other Revisions’ (1970).

    • 3/5
      “The Nameless City” is a 1937-penned short story set in an Arabian desert. In this the eerie wilderness the narrator recalls a night of wonder and terror.I like Mr Lovecraft’s use of language and description. He expertly sets a chilling tone throughout. That said, I prefer character-driven tales with plenty of dialogue and this one simply features an unnamed narrator telling the reader what happened.

      Kauhun mestarin novelleja, joista merkittävimpänä Vainooja pimeydestä (Haunter of the Dark) sekä pienoisromaani Hulluuden vuorilla (At the Mountains of Madness).
