Mais le passé est-il vraiment révolu et les morts trépassés ?
Œuvre phare de Lovecraft, L’Affaire Charles Dexter Ward est son unique roman. Ce texte intrigant, effrayant, étouffant, nous conte la folie d’un homme qui perd peu à peu pied face aux révélations troublantes concernant son ancêtre.
Howard Phillips Lovecraft, (1890 - 1937), was an American author who achieved posthumous fame through his influential works of horror fiction. Virtually unknown and only published in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, he is now regarded as one of the most significant 20th-century authors in his genre. Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island, where he spent most of his life.
