Loevcraft, generally regarded as the greatest horror fiction writer of his time and well as one of the first serious writers about horror fiction with his Supernatural Horror in Literature. De Camp, whose own fantasy/sf writing is generally lighter (and to me, more enjoyable) than Lovecraft's, and who belonged to the immediately following group of writers, wrote a competent and reasonably sympathetic life, though understandably unsympathetic to Lovecraft's nativist contempt for immigrants and a bit condescending about Lovecraft's less than successful marriage. The is a reasonably balanced biography of H. P. Lovecraft. de Camp's preface explains much about how and why he chose to write the book, and it's clear that although de Camp doesn't quite understand some aspects of Lovecraft's life, in many ways he came to respect Lovecraft as a person, even while decrying several of his choices in life. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The son of parents both of whom died insane, Lovecraft became a powerful philosophical thinker. Here is the bizarre tale of his habits; his tragi-comic literary and marital careers; his key role in the origin of science-fiction fandom; and how he worked his nightmares and neuroses into the stories that became a legend after his death.
