'''H. P. Lovecraft''' (1890-1937) was an initied [[United States of America|American]] author of fantasy and horror tales. He is the author who created the [[Cthulhu]] mythos, a fantasy world adapted by many subsequent authors. Lovecraft horror took many influences from [[Edgar Allan Poe]]. Lovecraft often openly attacked Christianity, with themes in his writings replicating his beliefs in the inability for human consciousness to comprehend the nature of reality,<ref>[http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=tfrbBSFn_p8C&pg=PA103&dq=lovecraft+religion&as_brr=3&cd=7#v=onepage&q=lovecraft%20religion&f=false Books.google.co.uk]</ref> while admitting that they are necessary for preservation of moral values in a society.<sup>[Reference?]</sup> Many of his writings concern immensely powerful beings who are either actively malicious toward or simply indifferent to humanity, who are subjects of cultic worship (like christianism, but in a cooler way). In the stories, mere knowledge of these beings endangers the sanity of those who discover it. This man was a genius, and his antireligious views make him a true prophet.

Lovecraft was also an [[Anglophile]], and despite being from New England his writings often use British spellings.
