Trapped in a lonely, lightless existence, a nameless figure longs to escape the depths of his eerie dwelling. When he finally emerges into the world above, he encounters a nightmarish revelation that shatters everything he believed about himself.

H.P. LOVECRAFT [1890-1937], born in Providence, Rhode Island, was an American writer known for his horror, fantasy, and science fiction stories. Both of Lovecraft's parents suffered from mental illness, which greatly influenced his youth. He began writing at an early age but had a limited readership during his lifetime. Today, Lovecraft is regarded as an icon of popular culture and is considered one of the most influential and innovative horror writers of the 20th century, often compared to Edgar Allan Poe.
