H.P. Lovecraft/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

[[H. P. Lovecraft]] is probably one of the most respected horror writers of all time. Pretty much any horror author that came after him owes him for at least one idea. He codified the idea of the [[Eldritch Abomination]] in fiction, was one of, if not the first, writers of the [[Cosmic Horror Story]], there were so many [[Brown Note|brown notes]] in his work, you could call it a brown opera, he is the trope namer for [[Go Mad from the Revelation]], created the creature Cthulhu, one of the most well known monsters in horror literature outside of [[Dracula]] or the [[Frankenstein's Monster]], and in general, wrote some pretty spooky stories.
