Howard Phillips Lovecraft

Har fylls ett betydande hal i historiken over den sallsamma boken Necronomicon. Fler ganger an nagon kunnat ana skymtar boken i den svenska historien, ofta med katastrofala foljder for de berorda manniskorna.

Ut i det själlösa tomrummet förde mig demonen,förbi skimrande kluster av universum med dimensioner. Här i kaosets mörker mumlade Alltets Herre den väldigeom sådant han drömt men icke kunde förstå,medan idiotvirvlar av gestaltlösa fladdermusvarelserflaxade och fladdrade, fläktade av strålningskaskader. Så beskrivs Azathoth och hans domän i hjärtat av kaos. Här återkommer Lovecrafts gudar och kosmiska mytologi i sin fulla glans. Dikterna har aldrig utgivits på svenska tidigare, men är omistliga för alla som fått smak för skräckmästarens originella skapelser och halsbrytande infall. Övernaturlig skräck blandas med science fiction, gotik med kosmologi. Boken samlar författarens alla bevarade skräck- och fantasy-dikter. De publiceras i original sida vid sida med svenska tolkningar på fri vers. Här finns också en essä av den mycket framstående Lovecraft-experten Robert M. Price, skriven speciellt till denna svenska utgåva. Amerikanen Howard Philips Lovecraft (1890-1937) uppnådde ingen nämnvärd framgång under sin livstid och publicerade större delen av sina verk i pulptidskriften Weird Tales samt i amatörtidskrifter. Men hans kosmiska mytologi och blandning av gotisk skräck med science fiction fick enormt genomslag efter hans död och omformade hela skräckgenren.

"Herbert West-Reanimator" is a horror short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. It was written between October 1921 and June 1922. It was first serialized in February through July 1922 in the amateur publication Home Brew. The story was the basis of the 1985 horror film Re-Animator and its sequels, in addition to numerous other adaptations in various media. The story is the first to mention Lovecraft's fictional Miskatonic University. It is also one of the first depictions of zombies as scientifically reanimated corpses, with animalistic and uncontrollable temperaments.

"The Shadow Out of Time" indirectly tells of the Great Race of Yith, an extraterrestrial species with the ability to travel through space and time.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft was an American author of fantasy, horror and science fiction. He is notable for blending elements of science fiction and horror; and for popularizing "cosmic horror": the notion that some concepts, entities or experiences are barely comprehensible to human minds, and those who delve into such risk their sanity. Lovecraft has become a cult figure in the horror genre and is noted as creator of the "Cthulhu Mythos," a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a "pantheon" of nonhuman creatures, as well as the famed Necronomicon, a grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works typically had a tone of "cosmic pessimism," regarding mankind as insignificant and powerless in the universe. Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, and his works, particularly early in his career, have been criticized as occasionally ponderous, and for their uneven quality. Nevertheless, Lovecraft's reputation has grown tremendously over the decades, and he is now commonly regarded as one of the most important horror writers of the 20th Century, exerting an influence that is widespread, though often indirect.
