The H. P. Lovecraft Collection: Deluxe 6-Volume Box Set Edition ( Arcturus Collector’s Classics #3 )

H. P. Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island, in the US in 1890. Influenced by various literary interests, from the Tales of Arabian Nights, to Greek mythology and to 19th century Gothic tales told to him by his grandfather, Lovecraft mixed these together with an interest in science. From this background, he gave voice to his ideas in a series of dark tales of fantasy and horror. He suffered from ill health, at one point having a nervous breakdown, and he was unable to attend university, which was a huge disappointment to him. He died in 1937, but his legacy lives on in a body of work that has inspired countless films, TV series, board games and toys, as well as the work of many other writers.

Lovecraft’s Cthulhu universe has been adapted into several different formats, including the Alone in the Dark video game series, the Eldritch Horror board games and a 2016 graphic novel published by Caliber Comics.
