White and feathery it comes from the deep to its brothers the clouds, full of dreams of dank pastures and caves of leviathan.

[...] [An old friend I met when I was probably 12 or 13 and read his stories and was really scared and fascinated at the same time.] H.P.Lovecraft, a good old friend. Thanks to George Rabel for this beautiful piece, unsettling, as most of Lovecraft's writings. ▲ Collapse | | | Aurora Humarán (X) Argentina Local time: 11:01 English to Spanish + ...

Howard Phillips Lovecraft, American writer of fantasy and horror, whose tales are often compared favorably with those of Edgar Allan Poe. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, August 20, 1890, Lovecraft was a sickly, precocious child whose parents died insane. At the age of 16 he was writing an astronomy column for the Providence Tribune.

Born in Providence, Rhode Island, August 20, 1890, Lovecraft was a sickly, precocious child whose parents died insane. At the age of 16 he was writing an astronomy column for the Providence Tribune. From 1908 until 1923 he eked out a livelihood from occasional stories in little magazines such as Weird Tales. His stories never earned him much, however, and he died in Providence, on March 15, 1937, in poverty and obscurity. About a decade later, his work began to receive serious attention. His tales tell of ghoul changelings, psychic possession, unspeakable evil, and mythical worlds in which time and space are dislocated, as in his Cthulhu Mythos stories. His work had considerable influence on fantasy and science fiction writers, and a cult developed. The stories were collected in several posthumous volumes, including The Outsider and Others (1939) and Haunter of the Dark and Other Tales (1951). http://home.earthlink.net/~presnell/bio.html ▲ Collapse | | | MLeiria Portugal Local time: 15:01 Member (2005) English to Portuguese + ...

Hi Aurora, Thanks for this little piece. I, for one, have had a great fascination for Lovecraft’s writings since my teenage years. Although it works much better when read at night (it’s around noon where I am) There’s a great site about him and his work in http://www.hplovecraft.com/. Cheers <...

In the first paragraph we were bewitched by these words: sea cliffs feathery clouds steep roofs secrets... And now you bring more music to this party and, again, leave us breathless. THANK YOU!
