Summary

Howard Phillips Lovecraft, born August 20, 1890, began composing rudimentary horror tales by the age of 8. He’s best remembered for cooking up his very own genre, Cosmic Horror, featuring monsters so powerful and terrifying that just seeing them will likely drive you insane. He was 31 at the time of his first publication in a professional magazine. By age 34, he was a regular contributor to newly founded Weird Tales magazine. In 1926, and over the next nine months he produced some of his most celebrated tales including The Call of Cthulhu, At the Mountains of Madness and Shadow out of Time. Never able to support himself from earnings as an author, Lovecraft saw commercial success increasingly elude him, partly because he lacked the confidence and drive to promote himself. An inheritance was completely spent by the time he died in poverty at the age of 46 on March 15, 1937.

Narrator Edward E. French is an Oscar nominated Makeup FX Artist (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) and two-time Emmy Award Winner for makeup creations seen in TV’s “House,” “Mad TV” and the “Westworld” Netflix reboot.
