Lovecraft. I - Providence. Book 2 Complete Biography of Lovecraft

Howard Phillips Lovecraft.

An eccentric recluse from Providence. A bold traveler. The father of modern supernatural horror. The creator of the god Cthulhu, the magic of the occult "Necronomicon" and at the same time an atheist. A self-published author. The last gentleman of the 20th century. A kind friend with a great sense of humor. A racist and a misogynist. A faithful husband. A co-author without financial gain. An amateur and a prominent editor. A paradoxical thinker. A man of science who never finished school. A nightmarish writer and a scribbler. An exquisite master of horror literature. All these contradictory opinions are somewhat true. And this biography was written to explore his life and create a complete impression of Lovecraft's personality and era.

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. "Book 2" covers the period of Lovecraft's life from 1925 to 1937.

An additional section describes Lovecraft's influence on contemporary culture - from 1937 to 2010.
