This is a great biography of H.P. Lovecraft. A while ago my sister gifted my younger brother, then around 8 years old, a collection of his works, not knowing how terrifying some of the stories are. It gave my brother nightmares for weeks, but as an adult he’s now reread a good bit of them and can appreciate Lovecraft’s artistry.
Thank you, Susanna! I sympathise with your little brother completely. While I had no nightmares, I definitely had trouble sleeping and his worldview/philosophy hit me hard. He is an artist when it comes to atmosphere and cosmic horror and I fell in love instantly. Excellent choice by your sister nonetheless haha

Damn... 🥀🥀...🥀...✨
Lovecraft's talent in crafting a world that is simultaneously awe-inspiring and terrifying is truly unmatched.
