H.P Lovecraft is one of the masters of horror literature. With his writing style and his own blending of the story and his own scientific thinking, he creates very beautiful stories. So how did H.P. Lovecraft become such a lover of horror stories? The author, who read a lot of stories like this in his childhood, as well as Arabian Nights and Mythology, is greatly influenced by them, and even goes so far that he sometimes emphasizes himself in his stories, as if he were living in the universe he created. Following this, he has a phobia of animals with gills. The loss of both his family and his grandfather saddened him deeply. In his universe, Lovecraft creates cosmic gods, creatures worshiped in ancient times, and he uses this concept of madness a lot in his stories, believing that these creatures will affect the mental health of these creatures, and leaves an original and rich content in his stories. You will read these stories as if they were real, and you will be frightened and terrified. Even Stephen King says: "I took my inspiration from Lovecraft." Unfortunately, although the author's childhood was dramatic, his life was filled with so many troubles and problems in the future that, unfortunately, even his first stories were not published at that time in order to write better.
There are Lovecraft's main works. His stories were published one by one, so these are his main well-known stories;
H. P. Lovecraft
In the Mountains of Madness
The Case of Charles Dexter Ward
The Shadow Over Innsmouth
Call of Cthulhu
