El caso de Charles Dexter Ward

by H. P. Lovecraft, José María Aroca (Translator)

Overview

Continuador de la tradición del cuento de terror, H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) innovó el género con aportaciones procedentes de una veta personalísima de temas y obsesiones en la que se dan cita el mundo sobrenatural, el saber esotérico y las ensoñaciones oníricas. Creador de una mitología fantástica y prolífico autor de cuentos y relatos breves, publicó asimismo tres novelas, entre las que destaca "El caso de Charles Dexter Ward", obra en que el horror se funde con materiales narrativos de naturaleza realista en el mejor estilo lovecraftiano.

About the Author

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937), commonly known as H. P. Lovecraft, was an American author known for his works of horror fiction (many of which have been adapted into movies). Having died in obscure poverty, he achieved posthumous fame for his books and stories. Today, he is best known for his take on The Call of Cthulhu. Because of his influence on contemporary writers and the development of his unique style known as "Lovecraftian," he is often compared to Edgar Allan Poe.
