HP Lovecraft was born in 1890 in Providence, Rhode Island. He was a prodigious but sickly youth. At 14, he contemplated suicide when his grandfather died, leaving him and his mother almost penniless. He began to write poetry and a series of literary spats in a newspaper brought him attention and the beginnings of a career. But until the last decade of his life, the works for which he is so well known did not arrive. That last decade was prolific, but with little income his life downgraded from one rented house to another.

The so-called "Roman dream," excerpted from a letter to Donald Wandrei dated November 2, 1927. In this dream, Lovecraft was a quaestor in one of the Spanish provinces under Roman rule.

Una torre cilindrica di pietra, misteriosamente murata, si erge in una valletta boscosa temuta dai contadini, circondata da leggende su un antico terrore. Un rosone ornamentato e vetri multicolori svelano visioni inquietanti, mentre un antico testo rivela oscure pratiche di stregoneria legate a un malefico passato. Le famose storie dell’orrore dello scrittore statunitense Howard Phillips Lovecraft continuano a far discutere gli appassionati, incerti se collocarle nella categoria del fantastico più originale o delle cronache di un possibile domani, di un oggi “laterale” in cui antichi misteri si aprono come crepe nel tessuto della realtà.

Long acknowledged as a master of nightmarish vision, H.P. Lovecraft established the genuineness and dignity of his own pioneering fiction in 1931 with his quintessential work of supernatural horror, At the Mountains of Madness.
