It is not advisable to become instant best friends with a mysterious man you have just met at a railway station - particularly if he has "immense, sunken and widely luminous eyes". The narrator of H.P. Lovecraft's 'Hypnos', a sculptor, went from 0-60 in a few seconds, and soon he was touching and sculpting his new friend every day. Creepy? It is just the beginning, as the narrator looks into the luminous eyes and embarks on drug-fueled trips around other worlds. What they see terrifies them, and they vow to avoid sleep. But sleep inevitably comes, with frightening consequences for them both. ´Hypnos´ will delight fans of H.P. Lovecraft or anyone looking for a short and scary read! Howard Phillips (H.P.) Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American author famed for his horror and fantasy fiction. Born in Rhode Island, he became a pioneer of `cosmic horror', conjuring up the lore of supernatural creatures who exist beyond our understanding. His best-known stories include "The Call of Cthulhu", "At the Mountains of Madness" and "The Colour Out of Space". While he was a mainstay of pulp magazines, Lovecraft never achieved wider literary recognition in his lifetime. But his posthumous influence has been profound. It can be found in everything from the fiction of Stephen King and Neil Gaiman to the HBO series "Lovecraft Country".

Having just endured the death of his son during the First World War, Delapore moves from the US to his ancestral property, Exham Priory, in England, seeking space and peace to mourn his loss. He begins to restore the estate - despite dire warnings from locals - and hears rats scurrying behind the walls. Joined by academics, he investigates - and discovers a truly spine-chilling family secret. His ancestors had an underground city populated by prisoners, some walking on all fours, who were kept to feed their desire for human flesh! As the sound of the scurrying rats grows to a cacophony in his ears, Delapore is seized by madness and the uncontrollable urge to feast on flesh. Fans of James Herbert's 'Rats' trilogy, 'The Rats', 'Lair', and 'Domain', will get a similar shiver from 'The Rats in the Walls'. There is also a taste of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'.

Nelle campagne del New England precipita un meteorite di un metallo alieno dalle proprietà mai viste. Quale terribile influenza avrà sulla gente del posto la misteriosa energia che emana? Il Colore Venuto dallo Spazio è un racconto horror fantascientifico dello scrittore statunitense Howard Phillips Lovecraft che gode di grande popolarità tra gli appassionati dello scrittore di Providence. Howard Phillips Lovecraft, spesso citato come H.P. Lovecraft (Providence, 20 agosto 1890 - Providence, 15 marzo 1937), è stato uno scrittore, poeta, critico letterario e saggista statunitense, riconosciuto tra i maggiori scrittori di letteratura horror insieme ad Edgar Allan Poe e considerato da molti uno dei precursori della fantascienza angloamericana. Le sue opere, una contaminazione tra horror, fantascienza soft, dark fantasy e low fantasy, sono state spesso descritte, anche da lui stesso, col termine weird fiction (dove weird sta per "strano"), venendo riconosciute tra le principali origini del moderno genere letterario del new weird.Autore di numerosi racconti, come Dagon, Il colore venuto dallo spazio, Il richiamo di Cthulhu e L'orrore di Dunwich, e di romanzi, tra cui Il caso di Charles Dexter Ward, Le montagne della follia e La maschera di Innsmouth, oltre ad alcuni racconti in versi, Lovecraft non venne apprezzato in particolar modo dai critici del suo tempo. Ad esempio, il racconto Il richiamo di Cthulhu venne inizialmente rifiutato in quanto definito troppo "straniante" secondo l'espressione di Wright, e non godette mai di buona fama se non dopo la sua morte. Molte delle sue opere sono state fonte di ispirazione per artisti di tutto il mondo, nella letteratura così come nel cinema e nella musica. Uno dei maggiori studiosi lovecraftiani, S. T. Joshi, definisce infatti la sua opera come "un inclassificabile amalgama di fantasy e fantascienza, e non è sorprendente che abbia influenzato in maniera considerevole lo sviluppo successivo di entrambi i generi". Dal punto di vista del pensiero nei suoi racconti e saggi coniò la filosofia del cosmicismo, in conseguenza del suo ateismo e delle nuove scoperte scientifiche, e le sue idee in molti campi furono spesso controverse.

Le récit le plus troublant de Lovecraft, entre course poursuite, terreur et folie. Et si c’était le livre le plus puissant, le plus troublant de Howard Phillips Lovecraft ?

Il y avait, dans cet appareil pourrissant et décomposé, une sorte de qualité innomable qui me glaça encore plus."

Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI voice. Howard Phillips Lovecraft was one of the most influential writers of horror fiction in the early 20th century. His fame is mostly posthumous: he was only published in pulp magazines in his lifetime, and never saw financial success. Despite that, Lovecraft's unique blend of gothicism, horror, and the supernatural, set in an imagined but eerilyreal New England, marked a gold standard for horror fiction for decades after his death. Readers of modern fantasy and horror fiction will certainly recognize Cthulhu, the tentaclemouthed god who lies asleep in a sunken Atlantean ruin; the Necronomicon, a grimoire of unspeakable power and horror penned by the "mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred; and the dark, twisted New England countryside of the Miskatonic Valley. These and other features take shape in Lovecraft's stories, creating a backdrop of the bizarre and evil behind seemingly daytoday lives. A thread of cosmic horror soon turns anything normal towards madness. This edition is small because verifying the U.S. public domain status of Lovecraft's corpus is a difficult, if not impossible, academic exercise, and finding firstedition copies to transcribe is also difficult. This edition will be updated as more transcriptions become verified and available. Included in this edition are some of Lovecraft's juvenalia-in particular, "The Alchemist" was written when he was just seventeen or eighteen.

Quasi inconnu de son vivant, Lovecraft est à présent considéré comme l'un des écrivains d'horreur les plus influents du XXe siècle. Robert Blake, écrivain amateur d'Esotérisme, est fasciné par une sorte d'église abandonnée qu'il voit depuis sa fenêtre, et dont il découvre qu'elle terrifie les habitants du quartier. En effet, le bâtiment désaffecté a autrefois habité un culte secret démantelé depuis une vingtaine d'années ; on prétend que les nuits d'orage, de drôles de bruits se font encore entendre dans les combles.
