Este ensayo histórico y crítico sobre EL HORROR EN LA LITERATURA saca a la luz las preferencias como lector y las concepciones como auto de H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937). La obra traza las líneas de continuidad y de ruptura de una tradición tan antigua como la humanidad mediante el examen de los albores clásicos y medievales del cuento de horror, el nacimiento, apogeo y decadencia de la novela gótica, los relatos de Edgar Allan Peo, y las creaciones de otros cultivadores del género. Having read all of Lovecraft's fiction, I thought this would be an interesting way to cap off his writing, with his essay on horror. It starts out quite strong, giving a good overview of the origins of horror, and their impact. Unfortunately, once he devotes an entire section to Edgar Allan Poe, he starts to slide off the rails a bit, focusing more on various plot summaries (both of Poe and those who he highlights in the sections that follow) than he does on their impact on horror in general. Still, for all that, it's a fascinating look into the mind that crafted a mythos that survives a century later and influences so many big names in the horror field.
