Howard Phillips Lovecraft (20 August 1890–15 March 1937), credited as H.P. Lovecraft in his writings, remains one of the most influential American horror, fantasy and science fiction authors, his works having inspired generations of writers. He is particularly closely-associated with the 'weird fiction' sub-genre, and some of his writings, such as the 'Cthulhu Mythos' linked series of works, have developed a cult following. Throughout his works runs a theme of life and the universe as incomprehensible to the human mind.
