MEDIA REVIEWS
The twentieth century horror story's dark and baroque princeDark,weird tales about tentacled beasts,ancient artifacts that ooze unidentifiable slime and baby-eating cultists eager to bring about the end of the worldLovecraft found a voice that was profoundly his own - and brought horror into the 20th century. His best stories sent the gothic into collision with science fiction and offered a bleak vision of a world whose thin veneer of civilization was being stripped away by an implacable zeal for knowledgeThe founding father of what has become known as "weird fiction''...Lovecraft has nothing in common with Anita Brookner
