QuoteI have dwelt ever in realms apart from the visible world; spending my youth and adolescence in ancient and little-known books, and in roaming the fields and groves of the region near my ancestral home. [...] Close by my home there lies a singular wooded hollow, in whose twilight deeps I spent most of my time; reading, thinking, and dreaming. Down its moss-covered slopes my first steps of infancy were taken, and around its grotesquely gnarled oak trees my first fancies of boyhood were woven.
- H.P. Lovecraft, "The Tomb"
Howard Phillips Lovecraft, master of cosmic horror, was born 120 years ago today. One of the most influential horror writers of the 20th century, H.P. Lovecraft skillfully crafted gripping stories of protagonists who struggled against supernatural enemies and risked their very sanity in the process.
Happy Bday Mr Lovecraft, I know you are listening :cool3:
