Narrado por ® bseal voice

Audiolibro narrado en castellano. Howard Phillips Lovecraft, nació en Providence, Rhode Island, en 1890 y murió 1937. Considerado uno de los más grandes exponentes de la literatura de ficción y de terror, tanto como escritor como editor.

Sus relatos nos trasladan al mundo refugio de la vida del propio autor donde nos acerca a espíritus malignos, posesiones psíquicas y mundos oníricos donde el tiempo y el espacio se alteran irremediablemente. Sus relatos expresan la soledad y la pequeñez de la condición humana en un universo infinito y amoral, azaroso y hostil, carente de significado y angustiosamente ajeno a nuestras preocupaciones y cavilaciones. Una de las expresiones de la genialidad del Lovecraft radica en que creará, en su literatura, una cosmogonía, un mundo mitológico. Este mundo se fundamenta en la idea de que los grandes monstruos habían perdido su dominio frente al ser humano y ahora trataban de recuperarlo. En ésta edición recopilamos 9 de los relatos de terror cósmico más 1 “Algunas notas sobre algo que no existe” (1933) notas autobiográficas escritas y publicadas por el propio autor donde detalla sus influencias, gustos de infancia y juventud, así como qué le llevo a la literatura. - Dagón 1917- Al otro lado de la barrera del sueño 1919 - El extraño 1921- Los gatos de Ulthar 1920 - El ceremonial 1923 - Aire Frío 1926 - El libro 1933 - El clérigo malvado 1933 - El descendiente 1938

H. P. Lovecraft

H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American author of science fiction and horror stories. Born in Providence, Rhode Island to a wealthy family, he suffered the loss of his father at a young age. Raised with his mother’s family, he was doted upon throughout his youth and found a paternal figure in his grandfather Whipple, who encouraged his literary interests. He began writing stories and poems inspired by the classics and by Whipple’s spirited retellings of Gothic tales of terror. In 1902, he began publishing a periodical on astronomy, a source of intellectual fascination for the young Lovecraft. Over the next several years, he would suffer from a series of illnesses that made it nearly impossible to attend school. Exacerbated by the decline of his family’s financial stability, this decade would prove formative to Lovecraft’s worldview and writing style, both of which depict humanity as cosmologically insignificant. Supported by his mother Susie in his attempts to study organic chemistry, Lovecraft eventually devoted himself to writing poems and stories for such pulp and weird-fiction magazines as Argosy, where he gained a cult following of readers. Early stories of note include “The Alchemist” (1916), “The Tomb” (1917), and “Beyond the Wall of Sleep” (1919). “The Call of Cthulu,” originally published in pulp magazine Weird Tales in 1928, is considered by many scholars and fellow writers to be his finest, most complex work of fiction. Inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, and Lord Dunsany, Lovecraft became one of the century’s leading horror writers whose influence remains essential to the genre.
