H.P Lovecraft is the undisputable master of horror. His tales bordering on cosmic horror and the terror of the unknown have recently resurfaced as the most esoteric form of the literary horror genre.
While conventional horror relies on fear of the absurd-strange yet perceivable, mostly in humanoid terms, Lovecraftian horror proudly distinguishes itself from this mantle. Lovecraft’s horror is based on the fear of that unknown entity indecipherable to collective human knowledge.
