Howard Phillips Lovecraft lived only 46 years, but left an invaluable contribution to modern culture. His life was full of contradictions, ups and downs. Now it is meticulously explored by the leading world authority S.T. Joshi, who has prepared the definitive biography of Lovecraft - an expanded and updated version of the book that won the Bram Stoker Award and the British Fantasy Award. In it, you will find countless details of Lovecraft's work, previously unpublished, as well as new information from archives discovered over the past 15 years during which Joshi worked on the book. This is the final word in Lovecraft scholarship and his era - a man, writer, and thinker ahead of his time who essentially created a new literary genre.
Howard Phillips Lovecraft. The eccentric recluse from Providence. Bold traveler. Father of modern supernatural horror. Creator of the god Cthulhu, the occult magic of the Necronomicon, and simultaneously an atheist. Self-publisher. The last gentleman of the 20th century. A good friend with a great sense of humor. Racist and misogynist. Faithful husband. Unpaid co-author. Dilettante and prominent editor. Paradoxical thinker. A man of science who did not finish school. A nightmarish writer and graphomaniac. An exquisite master of horror literature. All these contradictory opinions are somewhat true. And in order to explore the life and form a complete impression of Lovecraft's personality and era, this biography was written. Before you is an expanded and updated two-volume version of the monumental biography that won the Bram Stoker Award and the British Fantasy Award. Now two volumes in one set! I recently received the monumental biography of Lovecraft and have been studying it since. Every major library in the world should have these two volumes in its collection. And Joshi should be recognized as the main biographer, as he has already proven himself with the previous edition. THOMAS LIGOTTI The definitive biography. JOYCE CAROL OATES Exhaustive on the subject, this volume serves as the definitive biography of Lovecraft.
