About the author

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (US: ; August 20, 1890–March 15, 1937) was an American writer of weird fiction and horror fiction. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, he spent most of his life there, and his fiction was primarily set against a New England backdrop. Lovecraft was never able to support himself from earnings as an author and editor, and he subsisted in progressively strained circumstances in his last years. He died of cancer at the age of 46.

Lovecraft was virtually unknown during his lifetime and published only in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, but is now regarded as one of the most significant 20th-century authors of weird and horror fiction. Among his most celebrated tales are The Rats in the Walls, The Call of Cthulhu, At the Mountains of Madness, The Shadow over Innsmouth, and The Shadow Out of Time. His writings were the basis of the Cthulhu Mythos, which has inspired a large body of pastiches, games, music and other media drawing on Lovecraft's characters, setting and themes, constituting a wider body of work known as Lovecraftian horror.

"Jeg har fortalt, at jeg levede adskilt fra den synlige verden, men jeg har ikke sagt, at jeg levede alene. Intet menneske kan leve i total ensomhed. I mangel af fællesskab med de levende, vil han uundgåeligt søge fællesskab med eksistenser, der ikke hører til den fysiske verden, eller hvis livscyklus for længst er tilendebragt." - Jervas Dudley Denne novelle er forfattet i juni 1917 af H. P. Lovecraft og udgivet første gang i 1922 i marts-nummeret af The Vagrant. Musik: Daniel Simon
