H.P. Lovecraft was the forefather of modern horror fiction having
inspired such writers as Stephen King, Robert Bloch and Neil Gaiman. The
influence of his Cthulhu mythos can be seen in film (Re-Animator,
Hellboy, and Alien), games (The Call of Cthulhu role playing
enterprise), music (Metallica, Iron Maiden) and pop culture in general.
But what led an Old World, xenophobic gentleman to create one of
literature's most far-reaching mythologies? What attracts even the minds
of the 21st century to these stories of unspeakable abominations and
cosmic gods?
LOVECRAFT: FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN is a chronicle of the life, work and
mind that created these weird tales as told by many of today's
luminaries of dark fantasy including John Carpenter, Guillermo Del Toro,
Neil Gaiman, Stuart Gordon , Caitlin Kiernan, and Peter Straub.
