Notes:
He was an American writer who achieved posthumous fame through his influ e ntial works of horror fiction. He was virtually unknown and published o nl y in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, but he is now regarde d a s one of the most significant 20th-century authors in his genre.
Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island, where he spent most of h i s life. Among his most celebrated tales are "The Rats in the Walls", "T h e Call of Cthulhu", At the Mountains of Madness and The Shadow Out of T im e, all canonical to the Cthulhu Mythos. Lovecraft was never able to su ppo rt himself from earnings as author and editor. He saw commercial succ es s increasingly elude him in this latter period, partly because he lack e d the confidence and drive to promote himself. He subsisted in progress iv ely strained circumstances in his last years; an inheritance was compl ete ly spent by the time he died, at age 46.
