He is notable for blending elements of science fiction and horror;and for popularizing "cosmic horror": the notion that some concepts, entities orexperiences are barely comprehensible to human minds, and those who delveinto such risk their sanity. Lovecraft has become a cult figure in the horror genreand is noted as creator of the "Cthulhu Mythos," a series of looselyinterconnected fictions featuring a "pantheon" of nonhuman creatures, as wellas the famed Necronomicon, a grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. Hisworks typically had a tone of "cosmic pessimism," regarding mankind asinsignificant and powerless in the universe. Lovecraft's readership was limitedduring his life, and his works, particularly early in his career, have been criticizedas occasionally ponderous, and for their uneven quality. Nevertheless,Lovecraft’s reputation has grown tremendously over the decades, and he is nowcommonly regarded as one of the most important horror writers of the 20thCentury, exerting an influence that is widespread, though often indirect.
