H.P Lovecraft

HP Lovecraft
HOWARD PHILLIPS LOVECRAFT (20 August 1890–15 March 1937) is what I consider to be one of the best science fiction writers to have lived. He did plenty of other stuff too, horror and poetry (He actually considered himself primarily a poet at some point). I refer always to his Science fiction because it's 2013 and his horror won't scare you unless you some how transported through time to be here from 1900. It's this same fact that makes his Science Fiction so remarkable however.

Lovecraft's science fiction isimmortal due to the nature of it. Todays sci fi is all about technology and colonizing on space whereas Lovecraft was writing in a time before there was much in the way of techology, at least long before it was considered possible to fly into space. So instead of having a technology based sci fi he has created visions of space, planets and dreams. He does reference some technology but his idea of futuristic tools are alien even today, just bizarre. A lot of what he writes can be considered Horror Sci Fi which is fine because it deals in things that could never be as opposed to skeletons which are actually pretty funny these days courtesy of Hollywoods terrible special effects.

His love of poetry is obvious even in his fiction writings, some stories even seeming like lengthy free form poems in the way he describes the settings and intentions behind everything. Sadly a lot of people, particularly todays Youth would not be capable of reading his work due to the age of his language, it's readable as he was writing sometime near the transition from ye olde english to this fucking gibberish we speak now, even so, that doesn't help people who can't read.

He's most known for being the first modern writer to document the happenings and going ons of Cthulhu and The Cthulhu Cult. A huge amount of writers, even today, still contribute to the Cthulhu Mythos
