About the book

Continuador de la tradición del cuento de terror, H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) innovó el género con aportaciones procedentes de una veta personalísima de temas y obsesiones en la que se dan cita el mundo sobrenatural, el saber esotérico y las ensoñaciones oníricas. Creador de una mitología fantástica y prolífico autor de cuentos y relatos breves, publicó asimismo tres novelas, entre las que destaca El caso de Charles Dexter Ward, obra en la que el horror se funde con materiales narrativos de naturaleza realista en el mejor estilo lovecraftiano.
