THE COMPLETE FICTION OF H. P. LOVECRAFT
Preface
-Ageless Reads

H. P. Lovecraft was a master at the genre of horror but unfortunately was only recognised for his writing posthumously. He was virtually unknown during his lifetime and died in poverty but he is now regarded as one of the most significant horror authors in the 20th century.
Lovecraft became a member of the United Amateur Press Association, which encouraged him to contribute many poems and essays. In 1916 he published his first story, The Alchemist and it appeared in the United Amateur. He did not publish any of his work commercially until 1922, by which time he was 31. During his adult life he maintained lots of friendship with other writers such as Robert Bloch, who write Psycho, Clark Ashton Smith and Robert E Howard, who wrote Conan the Barbarian. Many aspiring authors at the time later paid tribute to Lovecraft’s mentoring and encouragement during their first years.
There has been a lot of discussion as to what Lovecraft was inspired by but critics have narrowed it down to four main areas: an early Edgar Allan Poe stage, an Edward Plunkett phase, 18th Baron of Dunsany inspired Dream Cycle; and finally the Cthulhu Mythos stories. All of these stages are overlapping and have qualities of one another but these seem to be the areas that Lovecraft took his inspiration. Critics have also suggested that Lovecraft took inspiration from The Arabian Nights and Lovecraft himself has expressed how much he loved the books as a child.
One particular area of his personal life which may have had a great affect on his writing is the death of Lovecraft’s mother. In 1919, after suffering from hysteria and depression for a number of years, Lovecraft’s mother was committed to a mental institution – Butler Hospital – where her husband had died a little while previously. Lovecraft and his mother exchanged frequent letters whilst she remained in the institution and they remained close as mother and son until her death on May 24th, 1921. As we know from many other writers and artists such as poets Sylvia Plath and Robert Lowell, personal matters can easily influenced a writer’s writing, and these personal matters are often the death of someone close or a breaking down of one’s marriage.
Horror as a genre dates back to the mid 18th century with books such as The Castle of Otranto. It is a genre meant to scare, frighten or startle the readers by inducing feelings of horror or terror. Literary historian JA Cuddon has defined the genre of horror literature as ‘a piece of fiction in prose of variable length…which shocks or even frightens the reader, or perhaps induces a feeling of repulsion or loathing.’ In most, a chilling and frightening atmosphere is created and suspense scenes make the reader feel on edge. Sometimes the supernatural is incorporated such as the use of ghosts and spirits but some factors depend on your own beliefs, such as the possibility of exorcisms. It is not unusual for the central menace of a work of horror fiction to be interpreted as a metaphor for the larger fears of a society.
Introduction
-Ageless Reads

The basis of horror as a genre is grounded both in folklore and religious traditions. Horror novels focus mainly on death, evil, the demonic, the afterlife and the principle of possession, but it is not uncommon for witches, vampires, ghosts and werewolves to be incorporated as the medium for creating fear. One of the defining traits of the genre is that it forces some kind of emotional, psychological or physical response from the reader, causing them to react with fear. Really it is a combination of lots of different genres and has stemmed from genres such as the gothic. There are many parallels between gothic texts and horror texts. Dracula, for example,
