H. P. Lovecraft was an American author during the early 1900s. Although he was a prolific writer published both poetry and scientific articles, he is best remembered for his macabre fantasy, horror and science fiction. These works often dealt with issues of psychology, the division between sanity and insanity, and the supernatural world. He was the creator of the Cthulhu mythos, a series of stories which detailed an ancient demon that threatened to destroy humanity, and the cult dedicated to it.
