Lovecraft’s fourth short story marks the start of the famous Cthulhu Mythos, in which ancient creatures rise from the depths of the world to drive men mad, reminding them of their cosmic insignificance. The point is to analyze how Lovecraft crafted his tales of horror, the narrative devices he used, the patterns in his writing, the common themes present in his work, and – of course – the blatant racism that permeates some of his stories. Lovecraft’s short stories and novellas, following a chronological order – as they are structured in the Barnes & Noble edition of H.P. The plan is to write a few paragraphs – a small review – on each of H.P. Lovecraft is the father of cosmic horror – the genre constructed around the notion that we human beings are a tiny, insignificant fraction of the universe, and that there are things much bigger and more important than us hidden in the depths of the world.
