‘The Outsider’ is a short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft and one of the most popular stories ever published in the successful pulp magazine, 'Weird Tales'. For as long as he can remember, a mysterious man has lived alone in a castle away from other people and the light. He does not know his name or where he’s from. Eager for human contact, he finally decides to escape his dark, decaying castle and its endless black forest. But what he finds will haunt him forever. Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction. He is best known for his short stories, including ‘The Call of Cthulhu’, ‘At the Mountains of Madness’, ‘The Shadow over Innsmouth’, and ‘The Shadow Out of Time’. Lovecraft's writing did not grant him fame or fortune during his life and he died without the acclaim his work now generates. Credited with inventing cosmic horror, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th century. Inspired by the likes of Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift, and Edgar Allan Poe, Lovecraft’s work has influenced writers and filmmakers such as Guillermo del Toro, Neil Gaiman, Thomas Ligotti and Stephen King. H.P Lovecraft was inducted into the Museum of Pop Culture's Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 2016.

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'. 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".

He talks to bottles, collects strange stones and only "few know his real name".

Two of them go inside, with the third man waiting in the getaway car. Suddenly, the driver hears horrendous screaming coming from the house and the old man opens the gate, "smiling hideously". The getaway man goes to investigate and comes face-to-face with blood-soaked terror beyond his darkest nightmares. This short story is perfect for those already familiar with the writings of H. P. Lovecraft, or those simply looking for a quick scare. Howard Phillips (H.P.) Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American author famed for his horror and fantasy fiction.

Misteriosa località all'apparenza abbandonata, centro di oscuri rituali esoterici, la cittadina portuale di Innsmouth, New England, sembra ormai scomparsa dalle mappe. Un giovane viaggiatore ci finisce per caso e mentre cerca informazioni sulla storia locale, gli capita di ascoltare il lungo e delirante racconto di un vecchio marinaio ubriaco, Zadok Allen, che gli narra di demoniache creature degli abissi arrivate da mari lontani. Uscito nel 1936, e Shadow Over Innsmouth è considerato uno dei migliori racconti del terrore di Lovecraft e riprende un suo incubo ricorrente, ovvero la metamorfosi dalla forma umana, in un'inquietante variante al mito di Cthulhu. 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.
