Synopsis "Crawling Chaos, Volume One: Selected Weird Fiction: 1917-1927"

H. P. Lovecraft, one of the great obsessive writers of the 20th century, naturally chose the pulp genre of "weird horror" in which to exorcise his acute anatomical alienation and existential torment. Within the matrix of his grotesque yet complex mythology, Lovecraft was able to conjure a hideous universe lying just beyond our own; his relentless style and language forging a convoluted, midnight-purple literary form which ultimately achieves a veritable "pornography" of horror: the accumulation and repetition of his demonic visions climaxing in orgasms of cosmic revulsion. Crawling Chaos comprises a chronological collection of this unique writer's best work; from his distinctive collaborative pieces, prose-poems and early tales of the gruesome and bizarre, through to the maturation and efflorescence of his personal cosmology, the Cthulhu Mythos. This new expanded edition, published in two volumes, has been enhanced by stories not previously included; Volume One includes the bonus stories "Herbert West, Re-Animator" and "The Shunned House". With an introduction by acclaimed author Colin Wilson.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (Providence, 20 de agosto de 1890-Providence, 15 de marzo de 1937) más conocido como H. P. Lovecraft, fue un escritor estadounidense, autor de relatos y novelas de terror y ciencia ficción.

Se le considera un gran innovador del cuento de terror, al que aportó una mitología propia —los Mitos de Cthulhu—, desarrollada en colaboración con otros autores, actualmente en vigencia.

Su obra constituye un clásico del horror cósmico, una línea narrativa que se aparta de las tradicionales historias de terror sobrenatural —satanismo, fantasmas—, incluyendo elementos de ciencia ficción como, por ejemplo, razas alienígenas, viajes en el tiempo o existencia de otras dimensiones.
