Celui qui chuchotait dans les ténèbres
Des voix inquiétantes qui hantent les collines, de mystérieuses empreintes de pas, une grosse pierre noire gravée de hiéroglyphes à demi-effacés... Un professeur de littérature, passionné par les légendes et le folklore de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, découvre le secret d'étranges créatures dissimulées dans les bois obscurs et plonge dans un univers terrifiant. Grand maître de l'angoisse, Lovecraft nous entraîne dans un monde où chaque murmure n'est que le début d'un long cauchemar...

About the author
H.P. Lovecraft
4,568 books18k followersHoward Phillips Lovecraft, of Providence, Rhode Island, was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction.
Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror: life is incomprehensible to human minds and the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Christianity. Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the mirror-opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality.
Although Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, his reputation has grown over the decades. He is now commonly regarded as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th Century, exerting widespread and indirect influence, and frequently compared to Edgar Allan Poe.

There can be nothing wrong with Lovecraft's books. This reads easily and is captivating.
However, there is A LOT wrong with Howard himself. Sorry dude.
