Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) is an American writer and journalist, a brilliant storyteller who made an immeasurable contribution to the development of horror literature. His imagination truly knew no bounds, and his books have been translated into numerous languages around the world and influenced the work of a number of celebrated writers, including Robert Howard, Fritz Leiber, Robert Bloch, Henry Kuttner, Arthur Machen, Stephen King, and others. Lyon Sprague de Kamp, the famous science fiction writer and biographer of Lovecraft, in assessing the contribution made by the master of horror to world literature, said: "Cthulhu is a myth not inferior to Lewis Carroll's Wonderland, Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom, Eric Rucker Addison's Zimiamvia, Frank Baum's Oz, Robert Howard's Highboric Age, and Tolkien's Middle-earth. By giving literary form to his own neuroses and nightmares, he has poignantly touched the most sensitive spots in the souls of millions of readers." Fantastic, awakening vivid emotions Lovecraft's texts did not leave the public indifferent during the writer's lifetime and cause her delight even after his death. In his writings Lovecraft created a universe full of dark omens, agonizing uncertainty and chaos. This edition includes five of Lovecraft's mystical works: Dagon, The Celebration, The Call of Cthulhu, The Dunwich Creeper, and The Curse of Innsmouth. All texts are published in translation by Rostislav Grishchenkov. The mystery and mysticism of Lovecraft's stories are reflected in the extraordinary illustrations by contemporary Russian artist Olga Rusakova.
