Summary:
"H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) was a great horror writer,
correspondent, and philosopher. This book focuses on his stories,
texts, and ideas. It attempts to make sense of their underlying
unity. The main themes are value nihilism, cosmicism, the language of
the unsayable, and the tension between science and magic. Special
attention is paid to Lovecraft's style, which is shown to be an
essential aspect of his creativity. Lovecraft was also an interesting
person whose life is documented in his many letters. This book
unifies the biographical, fictional, and philosophical dimensions of
Lovecraft's writings."--BOOK JACKET.
