關於作者
H. P. Lovecraft, born Howard Phillips Lovecraft on August 20, 1890, in Providence, Rhode Island, is an iconic figure in the world of supernatural fiction. His writing, particularly in the genre of weird fiction, straddles a masterful intersection of cosmic horror and science fiction that teases at humanity's insignificance in the face of incomprehensible forces within the universe. Lovecraft's unique literary style is characterized by its dense and archaic prose, bolstered by a pseudomythology known best as the 'Cthulhu Mythos'. A significant work in Lovecraft's oeuvre is 'At the Mountains of Madness', a chilling novella combining elements of Antarctic exploration with ancient alien lore, which embodies the author's thematic obsession with the unknown and the frailty of human sanity. Although largely unrecognized in his lifetime and living in poverty, Lovecraft's posthumous fame has grown over the decades, securing him a place as one of the most influential writers of 20th-century horror. His works continue to inspire countless writers and artists across different mediums, and his stories are omnipresent in popular culture, particularly within the realms of horror and science fiction.
